Tell me about a time when you had to juggle several assignments at once. What did you do?
I balanced the assignments out by such that I had equal time for each one of those assignments to get completed.
OR
I gave myself a time limit for each assignment, and within that limit I managed to finish all those assignments.
Which answer is better, do any of these sentences need to be fixed?
Or could I mention anything about knowing beforehand?
The second sentence is much better.
The first is awkward and wordy.
Thanks, does the second sentence need any fixing at all?
Nope. It's great just the way you wrote it.
Both sentences convey the idea of balancing multiple assignments and managing time effectively. However, there are a few improvements that can be made to make the sentences more clear and cohesive.
1. "I balanced the assignments out by such that I had equal time for each one of those assignments to get completed."
Revised version: "I balanced my workload by allocating equal time for each assignment to ensure they were completed."
- This version simplifies the sentence structure and improves readability.
2. "I gave myself a time limit for each assignment, and within that limit I managed to finish all those assignments."
Revised version: "I set specific time limits for each assignment, enabling me to successfully complete all of them on time."
- This version clarifies that each assignment had its own time limit and emphasizes the successful completion of all assignments.
Overall, the revised versions provide clearer explanations of how you managed multiple assignments simultaneously.
