Event Planner Interview Question:

What are some strategies you use for managing and prioritizing work for yourself when there is too much work and too few staff members to complete the tasks at hand?

Event deadlines and size play a huge factor in prioriting events. For example, while planning a week long retreat that was happening in 8 months I also had to continue planning weekly meetings as well as small events. I broke the major event down into major tasks (one for each month) and broke that down to a "to do" list. Once that was broken down I scheduled my weekly to do lists on top of that. I was able to see efficiently each item I had to do daily to accomplish things in the near future as well as far.
