One common interview question, which we used when hiring our Organiser and is used in many jobs, is that of prioritisation: you have lots of demands on your time and are faced with a long list of tasks, which do you do first?
Prioritisation seems to be an ever-present task as PPC. There is only one of you but 1001 things that need doing. Help?!
Yesterday I went through three sets of my list – the first version which I had written the night before on how I would get things done the next day as the asks seemed insurmountable; the second version made at coffee time before rushing out the door to a meeting, of the things that still needed doing and ranking which was most important; and then a third version, a yet-again-revised list of things that had to be absolutely done that day, with a new list of what could be left for the next day.
There is never enough time. Prioritisation is key, with an emphasis on delegating what others can do. I am more and more saying to those around me, “I am going to concentrate on what I am meant to be doing as PPC.” But in the real world, it never works out that way.
