[QUOTE="Emilia Hdsn., post: 92850, member: 14902"] Hi guys, The question seems simple but I am struggling with the "being chased on something that you have not started" part. Here is the question: " [B]You are working on a query for a new client, which has to be responded to tomorrow morning. You were told it was important as Eversheds Sutherland want to impress them. However, you have a lot of work on and the query is taking you longer than you expected. You are now behind on your work for today. You also have emails from other people chasing you for work you have not yet started. What would you do? As part of your answer, please also describe what personal strengths would you draw upon and what would you find energising in this situation?"[/B] Do you think that because it is a task that I have not started, I should inform my colleagues and supervisor about it, then try to balance it with my current work (despite also having the query)? Or should I inform my supervisor and colleague, asking for an extension then delegate responsibilities? The word " chase" makes me think that it is urgent but the question does not say much about it. Thanks for your help [/QUOTE]
