[QUOTE="Jacob Miller, post: 48871, member: 5063"] Personally, when I'm approaching a question like this either in an interview or SJT scenario, I'm bearing the following in mind as key issues: - [B]communicate[/B]: explain to the supervisor that you've taken on X workload and your capacity level, ask him whether he would still like you to go ahead with this - [B]manage time: [/B]assess your diary, see what parts of each task will take the longest and look at what is due when, see if you can move your diary around to accommodate any additional work by moving peripheral commitments to other times - [B]delegate[/B]: there are six other trainees available, so delegate certain parts of either or both tasks to them to ensure everything is completed on time. Check with the appropriate seniors that this is suitable incase there are restrictions on who can see the work that you're unaware of - [B]work extra[/B]: nobody is desperate to be in the office longer than they have to be, but I always felt this question was an opportunity to display work ethic and pull extra hours of necessary to complete the task.
