Core java interview Questions You'll Most Likely Be Asked (Second Edition)

part of multi-tasking is to keep a clear head at all times about
what needs to be done, and what priority each task falls under.
Explain how you evaluate tasks to determine priority, and how
you manage your time in order to ensure that all are completed
efficiently.
As an example:
I am a good multi-tasker because I am able to respond to
changes quickly. I keep running lists of what I am working on so if
I have interruptions or urgent projects that take me away from my
existing tasks, I am able to quickly go back to what I was working
on.
How many hours per week do you work?

330.
Answer:
Many people get tricked by this question, thinking that answering
more hours is better - however, this may cause an employer to
wonder why you have to work so many hours in order to get the
work done that other people can do in a shorter amount of time.
Give a fair estimate of hours that it should take you to complete a
job and explain that you are also willing to work extra whenever
needed.
As an example:
If I am working a full time forty-hour work week job, then that is
what I work. Lets be honest we are human… so there have been
times where I was not feeling well so I was slow, or having some
off weeks where I may have only worked thirty eight hours or so,
however, I did not miss any deadlines and as soon as I was
feeling better I was back at my usual work speed and productivity
hours. On the other hand, if I feel I need to work any overtime I
will only do so if I have permission from the supervisor first. There
was one instance when I had an emergency arise and it was time
for me to leave, however if I left, then it would have made things
worse for the company and the client, so I did stay an extra thirty
minutes to complete the task, however I immediately called my
supervisor of the issue and why I stayed, so they were aware.
