关于错过最后期限的相关例子

"Well, my current project deadline has long since passed and we still have no idea when everything will be finished. It was a really aggressive time estimate from the start. My boss just gave it to me and I said I would try, but I knew it couldn’t be completed in that amount of time. Now everyone is mad that the project is running over time and over budget, which is why I want to leave, so here I am, interviewing with you…"

"In my recent internship, I delivered my primary project ahead of schedule and was then given a secondary project to deliver by the end of my internship. Since it was a project area where I did not yet have experience, it took me some time to come up to speed. Yet the original time estimate was based on someone already working within the department. When I got to within two weeks of completing my internship and returning to college, I knew that I was not going to be able to complete the secondary project by the end of my internship. I met with my mentor and we worked out a situation which allowed me to continue to work on the project part-time after the official end of the internship. She told me that they typically would not do this, but understood the circumstances and were willing to flex to make it happen. I was able to complete the secondary project a few days later and got a high overall rating for my work…I feel so lucky to be part of the team and very appreciate the open-communication culture that could always have me to move in the right direction and prioritize the tasks in a right order. "

“While I was working for X company, I was a Senior Software Engineer. We had a lot of major projects going on and I was responsible for my day to day duties at the same time. In order for me to get all the work done that was needed, I had to take a step back to assess what tasks took priority over others and when I needed to get them done by. I considered project timelines, project priority level, and top daily priorities. I used this concept to start to build my list of tasks from top to bottom and work down from most important to not as important. If I needed help or a question answered I would be sure to always try be communicative with my colleagues. Actually, the major dependency to prioritize the tasks is based on the proper understanding of the importance to the project. So it would be nice to check regularly the situation and stay on the right track. ”

“First, I’d investigate the problem and the source, and make a list of a few different solutions. If none of those solutions were possible without fully redoing the project, and if I thought the mistake might make me miss my deadline, I’d immediately approach my supervisor and let her know the situation. Particularly if the mistake is my fault, it’s important that I’m honest and open about it -- it’s a good learning and growth opportunity for me, and could prevent others from making that same mistake. Finally, I’d ask my supervisor’s suggestion to see if it is still ok to put in extra time if necessary to finish the project. Especially for R&D project, it is always not guaranteed that the current method is the best. I would start from a basis case and find out the first solution, well sometimes it’s brute force way while optimizing the solution is always based on the deep understanding of the fundamental thing.  The inspiration achieved from the experience could be the key factor to open the door.”
