1 Understand the question

The first step is to understand what the interviewer is really asking when they question your organizational skills. Are they looking for specific examples of how you organize your work, your calendar, or your network? Are they testing your ability to handle multiple projects, deadlines, or requests? Are they probing for any weaknesses or gaps in your organizational system? Try to figure out the underlying purpose and context of the question, and tailor your answer accordingly.

One thing I have found helpful is the listens carefully and pick out the main topic sentence or word that the interviewer asked. For example, weakness, strength, deadlines, requests.

2 Highlight your strengths

The second step is to highlight your strengths and achievements related to organizational skills. You can use the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) to structure your answer and provide concrete and relevant examples. For instance, you can describe a situation where you had to network with a large number of people, the task you had to accomplish, the action you took to organize your contacts and follow-ups, and the result you achieved. You can also mention any tools, apps, or strategies that you use to enhance your organizational skills, such as calendars, reminders, spreadsheets, or CRM systems.

On thing I have learnt is know yourself first, read the job descriptions and relate it to your own experiences. You are coming into the interview because you know that the role relates to your experiences and paper. Always know yourself regarding your experiences and how these experiences shape the role description. Ensure to give direct answer but in your own experience. Give examples that the interviewer have not known about as can bring positive impact to the interviewers.

3 Address any challenges

The third step is to address any challenges or areas of improvement that you may have related to organizational skills. You don't have to pretend that you are perfect or avoid the question, but you should be honest and positive. You can acknowledge any difficulties or mistakes that you have faced or learned from, and explain how you have overcome them or are working on them. You can also demonstrate your willingness to learn and adapt to new situations, and ask for feedback or suggestions from the interviewer.

On thing I have learnt is that I’m not perfect and I make mistakes. However, remember that from mistakes you learn and grow your individual characters and professionals skills. Be honest, provide examples of your past challenges and provide honest solutions on how you address these challenges.

4 Show your value

The fourth step is to show your value and potential as a networker with strong organizational skills. You can emphasize how your organizational skills help you achieve your goals, deliver quality work, and create value for yourself and others. You can also link your organizational skills to the specific role, company, or industry that you are applying for, and show how they align with their expectations, culture, or vision. You can also express your enthusiasm and interest in networking with different people, and how you can leverage your organizational skills to build and maintain relationships.

5 Ask a question

The fifth step is to ask a question that shows your curiosity and engagement with the interviewer and the topic. You can ask about their own organizational skills, their preferred tools or methods, or their challenges or best practices. You can also ask about the organizational culture or expectations of the company or role that you are applying for, or how they measure or reward organizational skills. Asking a question can help you create a dialogue and rapport with the interviewer, and demonstrate your initiative and eagerness to learn.

As once I was a part of 'chasing team', I would 100% start with the question why & what's wrong in the organization. Be very careful & mind the answer/details from the Interviewer. You should immediately think if it will be comfortable for you to work in such type of organization, where you need to organize people around you, especially without having actual authority to do that. Chasing is a hard job, requires lots of time & inner energy cause you also will be doing you own job at the same time.

6 Thank the interviewer

The last step is to thank the interviewer for their time and attention, and for the opportunity to discuss your organizational skills. You can also restate your main points, summarize your value proposition, and express your interest in the role and the company. You can also ask about the next steps in the process, and when you can expect to hear from them. Finally, you can follow up with a thank-you email or note, and reiterate your appreciation and enthusiasm.
