This is a competency based interview question where they are looking for evidence of you having used the competency of the ability to set priorities. To answer the question you should use the CAR format.

C = context - What was the situation

A= Action - What did you do

R = Result - what happened as a result of the action that you took

You should check out the competencies that are required before the interview using the job advert and the person specification. So if the advert says they need someone with the ability to work as part of a team you will be asked to provide evidence of how you have done this.

What are suggestions for calming yourself before and during an interview?

First off, be well prepared: * Research the company * Do serious introspection. Why have you chosen this career path? Why is this company right for you? * Practice interview questions. Have a friend or family member ask you questions as if they were the interviewer. This will make you more confident. Directly before and during the interview, the best thing I can suggest for relaxing is to tell yourself that you don't really *need* the job. It isn't the only job out there. You might like this position, but you could find another. Remind yourself that you could be perfectly happy without it. In fact, you might even be happier. Think of it this way: if they reject you, they have reasons for it. They don't think you're perfect for the job. If that's true (and it probably would be, because they know the job better than you) then you wouldn't really want the job. You want something that's a perfect fit. Also remember that you're interviewing them as well. They want to determine if you are the right fit for the position. If you are, they'd be very lucky to have you. Remember that you are perfect for something. You just need to find that position, and the company needs to find you.

How do you answer 'What matters to you the most and why'?

This is a question about your values. Don't feel that you need to lie and say work is most important to you. If it is not -- and generally it is not -- be honest.

Any job searcher needs to do serious introspection. Carefully consider what is important to you and why. Try writing it out. Ask yourself questions and write out the answers as if you were aggressively interviewing yourself.

Values are not a simple hierarchy. Everyone has multiple values that need to be balanced. One of them should be pride and satisfaction from your work. That should be mentioned with the others in a job interview.
