Interviewer: Are you an organized person?
Carly: Actually, I am both organized and unorganized. At work, I am very organized because I know that being organized is important to do a good job. But at home, I am not very organized. In my home, I don’t really mind if things are a little messy or out of place.
Interviewer: So, what are some ways that you are organized at work?
Carly: Well, I put all of my meetings, deadlines, and other events in my calendar. As soon as I get a new task or set up a meeting, the first thing I do is put it in my calendar.
Interviewer: That’s a good habit to have.
Carly: Also, I like to make a list every morning to figure out what I need to accomplish that day. I think that this helps me be more productive throughout the day.
Interviewer: Do you keep your desk neat?
Carly: Some people might think my desk looks messy, but there is a system.
Interviewer: Don’t feel bad about that. I am the same way.
