[QUOTE="Lauren, post: 49998, member: 1107"] I was wondering how to tackle this interview question. [B]How would you react if your fellow trainee took on too much work? [/B] These are a few of initial thoughts: A similar example arose during my consultancy project with {..}. One of my colleagues wished to broaden her experiences and so was allocated tasks across both the marketing, operations and consulting streams. However, soon she became overwhelmed by the competing deadlines and the variety of research which needed to be conducted. To this extent, I asked them if they were ok and offered to support them with some of the work. We collaborated together on the operations tasks, whereby we both benefited from bouncing ideas of each other and ensuring the deadline was met. If this situation occurred with a law firm, I would similarly offer to support with the tasks, seeing if there was anything I could do to help. I would ensure I had capacity to do so, completing any urgent tasks first, and informing my supervisor. Are there any other strengths I could demonstrate? [/QUOTE]
