Sample answer
“In my previous internship at a marketing agency, I handled requests from four different clients simultaneously. I prioritized based on urgency and the potential impact on their projects. I created a shared spreadsheet to track deadlines and updates, which helped me stay organized. I communicated regularly with each client to set expectations, which ensured they felt valued. In the end, all projects were completed on time, and clients expressed satisfaction with my responsiveness and attention to detail.”
