HELP with interview question

[astonishedandamazed]

demonstrate your competence - adopting a systematic approach.

Im braindead today and cant think!

Can someone explain.

Thanks

What job is it for?

its for an admin office position

You could explain how you would deal with things in a methodical systematic way, to ensure things are dealt with properly and things don't get missed/ rushed etc. How you feel it is important to have systems for each part of the job instead of tackling it in a haphazard way. Or summit like that .

For me, it might be explaining my "to do" lists. I write down everything I need to do and print out a new one regularly, getting rid of the things that I've done. It's very satisfying to cross things off and encourages you to see the priorities. I start at the top with the small urgent things that can be done quickly and get out of the way. Further down I have the meaty stuff that needs more time and thought - and I might mark on deadlines or how urgent they are. At the bottom I have long term ideas and thoughts that I don't want to forget.

I don't know your situation but if you haven't worked for a few years, I'd be looking at things like how you organise your house - the bills, the shopping etc. Do you have a routine or do you live by chaos theory?

Good luck with the interview though.

Thanks all
