As the information technology support specialist at my company, I am always faced with a long list of small projects and repairs that need my attention. In order to keep the company running efficiently, I must be able to prioritize these projects, addressing the most vital problems first and leaving secondary issues for later. Sometimes this involves dropping everything in order to deal with an emergency, such as a problem with our internet server, and sometimes it involves simple common sense, such as opting to patch holes in our security firewall before updating our graphic design software. In the end, all my projects are completed, but because of my prioritization skills large problems are avoided and the system is able to run as smoothly as possible.
