Tell us about a situation when you had to balance conflicting demands on your time.

How did you go about this?

During my everyday job environment, I come across situations with conflicting demands on time regularly. As a clerical officer I have to undertake a series of duties involving proper communication flow within and outside organization, management of record keeping and assisting other member of staffs with the administrative needs. To point out a situation in particular, during my initial phase of the job role, I was assigned an additional job of documenting old archives before 90s in addition to the above duties. I was given a certain amount of time to finish the job and report on it. It seemed to be overwhelming at one point of time as the application flow to the department increased at a high rate. I stopped my work at that point and made a timetable by scheduling and categorizing my work. Then, I met with my manager to get permission for implementing my plan. He was happy with my plan and gave me the green signal to go forward. Thus, I managed my conflicting demands of time through proper organizing.

Whilst at University, I took the initiative in choosing and planning topics for team assignments.

My friendly attitude with a smile had helped getting me closer to all the colleagues and understands them properly. This helped me in taking decision, which is suitable for all members of team where each member can play a definite role. This initiative mentality and well supportive attitude had put me in the role of team leader many a times. Because of this I used to get feedbacks from my colleagues about how much confidence and trust they get in working along the other members in my team.
