Describe a situation where you had to deal with multiple tasks projects within a tight deadline. Explain the situation, your actions and the result

Explanation / Answer

“Even if my tasks seemed unachievable, I would buckle down and figure out the best approach to completing the tasks. I would start by organizing the tasks from most important to least, and then I would begin working on the most important task. If there were any tasks I could delegate to other capable individuals, I would not be afraid to ask for assistance.”

“I would maintain a positive outlook and utilize my organizational skills to develop a plan of action. I understand the importance of adhering to deadlines, so if I saw that I absolutely could not accomplish a particular task on time, I would ask for an extension.”

Be sure to provide a clear, thoughtful plan, and show a commitment to completing your work, which you would apply in the position.

“I typically aim to tackle the more difficult parts of a project early on in a day—if you wait until the end of a day to tackle the tough parts, you stand the chance of running out of time. I also like to break down larger, heftier parts of a project into bite-sized chunks—doing so allows me to keep cool and not get overwhelmed while working up against the deadline. Once I complete all work, I update my boss on the status of the project.”

Multiple tasks due on the same day can be tough to manage, so it’s important to show that you know how to formulate a plan should the situation arise. So again, you should aim to provide a specific, tangible example from your career to demonstrate how you prioritize under the pressure of multiple tasks with the same end-of-day deadline.
