So why is the interviewer asking you the question, how do you prioritize your work? Well, they are asking you the question because having the ability to take responsibility for your day-to-day activities is going to be crucial in your role. If you can prioritize your work accordingly, you are less likely to make mistakes and all of your work will get completed on time. Now, the employer doesn't want to have to tell you which tasks to prioritize first, and they certainly don't want to have to spend their valuable time closely monitoring or supervising you. Therefore, it's really important that you give a concise and confident answer. So before I give you the perfect scripted answer to the interview question, how do you prioritize your work?

Tip number two, when answering this difficult interview question, say that you will always use a five-step process to prioritize your work. I will tell you in a second what that five-step process is. And tip number three, show you are a flexible and adaptable employee who is prepared to stay behind late after work to get everything completed if needed. Now, this is a great way to stand out from the competition during your interview. So let me now give you a brilliant top-scoring answer to that difficult interview question, how do you prioritize your work? Make sure you take notes. Here we go. To ensure everything I am responsible for gets completed on time and to the right standard, I use an efficient five-step system for managing and prioritizing multiple time-sensitive tasks. Step one, I start my week by creating a to-do list of everything I must complete and achieve each day. Step two, I place each task in order of priority based on the organization's objectives. Now, my to-do list is always flexible and I will revisit it often during the working week to keep it updated. Step three, I make sure there are no distractions whilst completing my work and I always use online scheduling tools to keep everything in order. Step four, I delegate tasks accordingly if required to ensure they all get completed quicker. And finally, step five, I always utilize a flexible and adaptable approach to my work. This means I can easily switch between priorities if needed and I am always prepared to stay behind late after work to get my tasks finished if ever I am under pressure.
