In what ways are you organized and
disorganized?
"In
what ways are you organized and disorganized?"
This is another variation to the previous question. This question is a little
better because the question wants you to identify an area you are disorganized.
Make sure to emphasize the organized portion of the answer. If you are truly an
organized person, then it is really tough thinking about an area you are
disorganized. So thinking ahead of time will allow you to make a good
impression with a solid answer.
Short Answers
"I'm
very organized with my time and work, but my desk is a little disorganized."
"Since
I work with many files, I like to keep my desk organized. I always have
everything in a certain place so I can find things easier. The area I'm
disorganized is probably my computer desktop. I usually have so many icons
everywhere. I should organize it a little, but I've never needed to."
"I
organize my schedule the best. I'm used to many meetings so it's important for
me to be organized with my schedule and time. The area I need to improve is
probably my file cabinet. I started to sort things alphabetically, but when I'm
busy, I start putting things in there. It started getting hard to find things,
but this is something I'm going to fix."
Long Answer
"Oh...
that's a good question. Well, I'm organized in almost everything I do. I'm very
organized with my schedule and time. I like to work efficiently, and being
organized with my time helps me. The area I feel I'm disorganized is probably
my desk. I like to work fast and don't keep my desk area as tidy as some people
I know. This however doesn't prevent me from doing my job well. You know some
people can have files and paper all over their desk but some how know exactly
where everything is located. I think I'm one of those people. However, if I
know I'm having a client or a guest, then I would definitely make things more
tidy."
This answer brings a little humor to the question. It lightens the mood and
makes a person seem real instead of appearing to be perfect. However, if the
job you are applying for requires constant customer interaction, then this
answer will not be good. This answer would be better for an office job where
not many people will see your desk. |
