Daddy, hello! I went to interview a 500-strong intern today, and I was asked this question: You need to be responsible to multiple line managers. If your two line managers are assigning tasks to you at the same time, and the same is urgent, ddl is Noon today, but what can you do if you can’t finish it with your ability.

My answer is: First of all, I will solve it myself, and I may find an intern in the same group to help. Secondly, if I can’t finish it, I will respond to the account manager and ask for help.

How is the answer like this? Please give some suggestions. Thank you!

A:

Explain the basic nouns.

line manager Reporting line manager/line manager, that is, your immediate supervisor, and the big boss, the boss is not the same thing, just direct you in the workplace, assign work to you, you report to him. The boss.

ddl deadline, due date.

How to answer this question is no standard answer.

But this kind of situation is often encountered in the workplace. There are standard answers to how to deal with such situations.

The difference here is that although there are standard answers to the situation in the workplace, some companies may not want to hear your answer during the interview and want to hear inconsistencies.

Inconsistent meaning, that is, chicken soup, lies, chicken blood and the like, has no practical significance.

According to the standard process and processing method, if you pass the interview, the company is normal. Did not pass, indicating that the company is not normal.

The standard process solution is:

1, when LM confessed to the task, he informed in time that another LM had already explained the urgent task, and your ability could not be completed at the same time, hoping to find another intern.

2, if there is no chance to inform in time, for example, two mission emails are sent to you at the same time, you have not had time to refuse, then this time you should:

1) Evaluate the progress of your work, your ability, and judge whether it can be completed.

2) If you can’t complete it, then assess the importance of both jobs.

3) Communicate with LM immediately and make it clear why you can’t do it at the same time.

4) At the same time, briefly describe the similarities and differences between the two jobs, telling you which one is more important and giving your own ideas and reasons. <
