Your time management example is strong but could be improved with a bit more clarity on your specific role and the outcome. Here’s what I think:
What works:
- You’ve clearly outlined the challenge (tight deadlines, coursework, and mini-projects) and how you handled it using a Gantt chart to plan your tasks and manage time.
- It’s good that you included the result—getting top grades because of your time management.
Suggestions:
- Try to make it clearer how your time management directly impacted your success. You could say something like: “By tracking my tasks with the Gantt chart, I was able to prioritize effectively, ensuring I met deadlines without sacrificing the quality of my work.”
- Emphasize your ability to balance multiple tasks and keep yourself organized—this shows discipline and focus, which are key to time management.
Merging Competencies:
Combining teamwork and time management in one example is totally fine! Just make sure to explain both clearly—how you worked with others and how you managed your time in the process. You’re doing great if you’ve already memorized two examples, so keep pushing through!
For Tell me about yourself” and “Why you want to work here”, keep those answers focused on your strengths and enthusiasm for the role. You’re almost there—just stay confident!
