How would you prioritize these task in order:

1. review 15 new applications for a top priority position
2.answer a question from a HM regarding a candidate he would like to interview
3. Catch up on emails from hiring managers
4. schedule a final interview
5. source 30 candidates as no one else can do it that day
6. Send check in emails to candidated waiting to hear back after an interview
7. Finish hiring process for candidate before sending out job offer

Offers are first priority, then scheduling interviews, then scheduling phone screens. Everything else tends to get addressed in the order that it’s received and sourcing always falls to the bottom of the list.

If I can make a suggestion from a holistic POV - if these things are recurring as in you do them daily or weekly, then build in set times on your calendar to deal with them and let people know when those times are. For example, emails from hiring managers - can you block 30 mins at the beginning and end of the day to tackle so timely answers are delivered? Let them know - I look at these emails and respond between 9am - 9:30am and then have another block from 4pm - 4:30pm - that sets expectations with them when to expect communication from you and it trains them to understand how to prioritize their comms to you. If they have a 5 alarm fire - they know they need to slack or text you outside of those windows.

Sourcing is another good one to block on your calendar. You have to be focused to do it and other priority things can easily take precedent, so block your calendar when you are your best focused self :)

4, 2, 5, 6, lunch, 7, 1 then 3. Get the brief tasks done first so you can fully focus on the more time intensive ones. It's the equivalent of making your bed in the morning; handle the task that's easy and quick first, so that you can already start the day with an accomplishment.

I have a portfolio review coming up next week. The situation is a bit different than what I’m used to - I didn’t apply, the hiring manager reached out because my background is very applicable to the role. I told them I haven’t updated my portfolio recently and they said that’s fine, that they don’t need anything fancy. Verbatim what they said via email is attached. I am very interested in the opportunity, so I‘d like to impress them. Should I put together a deck to show a more recent case study?
