Any Navy Nukes in this bowl?
Ok be honest, candidates. I really love this set of questions, I’ve been considering shifting my current interview style to these questions - I think they really give you an idea of who this person would be within the work setting. But the questions almost feel too deep for a recruiter to ask. What would you think if a recruiter took a different path and asked these questions instead of the usual ones?

Prioritize the most important tasks, break big projects into smaller steps, batch similar work, time-block for focus, and communicate with your manager if deadlines are unrealistic. Depends on the place, of course, some will make it impossible regardless of what you do.
A great manager makes it easier! Although there is only so much that can be done. I’ve been absolutely drowning in work for a couple of weeks, but it’ starting to let up now. Hoping you get the same soon!
"I find myself wishing for a 6-day week instead." Things I will never be able to relate to 😂. Seriously though, I do get what you mean. There never seem to be enough hours in the work day to get everything done. I've given up on trying to manage it, I'm just prioritizing what I have to get done immediately and putting everything else on the backburner until I can attend to it.

Yea, you can only get done what you can. I just wish my day wasn't so chaotic.
The only way I can get everything done is good ol’ time blocking on your calendar. The trick is to STICK with it. For example, block 9-10:30am as calls to be made, DONT check email, voicemail etc (unless urgent of course) and hammer out calls till 20:30 & move to what’s next in your calendar. This works!!!
