25: How do you prioritize your work?

Interviewer: How do you prioritize your work?

Candidate: I prioritize my work by first identifying the most critical tasks that align with project deadlines and business objectives. I use tools like Trello and Jira to create a task list and categorize them by urgency and importance. I also apply the Eisenhower Matrix to determine which tasks to focus on, delegate, or defer. Additionally, I regularly communicate with my team and stakeholders to ensure that priorities are aligned and any changes in urgency are addressed promptly. By maintaining a flexible but structured approach, I can efficiently manage my workload and deliver high-quality results on time.

Career Coach Tips:

1. Frameworks and Tools: Mention specific frameworks (like the Eisenhower Matrix) and tools (like Trello, Jira) you use to prioritize tasks.
2. Business Alignment: Emphasize the importance of aligning tasks with business goals and deadlines.
3. Flexibility: Show that you can adapt to changes in priorities while maintaining a structured approach.
