Interview Questions
JOVA
Business Development Intern (Health Food Startup)

How do you usually keep track of tasks, follow-ups, or deadlines when things are moving fast?
I usually keep track of tasks and deadlines using a Google Sheets assignment tracker that I built out to stay organized. I break things down by priority, due date, and status, and I’ll color-code items so I can quickly see what needs attention. When things are moving fast, this helps me stay focused, avoid missing anything, and adjust timelines if needed.

Tell us about a time you helped something run more smoothly, or solved a problem on your own.
During a student-led project, our team was falling behind because tasks weren’t clearly assigned or tracked. I created a shared spreadsheet that broke down each deliverable by deadline, owner, and progress status—essentially acting as a lightweight project tracker. This simple system helped everyone stay aligned, improved accountability, and got us back on track to finish ahead of schedule.
