Hello Celica
What are you trying to say, please? Do you mean...that you prefer to finish one project before starting another one? If I have understood you correctly, and this is what you mean, then you could say something like:
Prefiero terminar (o completar) un proyecto antes de comenzar un nuevo proyecto.
= I prefer to finish (complete) one project before starting a new one
Yes, I also prefer to finish one task before embarking on a new one, but I am not sure to what extent this wll be possible when working in the banking sector as I have never worked in this line of work before.
We all have our own preferred working styles, which is fine up to a point! However, you might also need to be careful not to give the impression to prospective (potential/new) employers that you are inflexible on this point....or it could discourage them from employing you (anyone) which, In today's job market with continuing high unemployment in Spain that is quite a risky strategy!
You could therefore add, after that sentence, that you are willing to adapt to new ways of working.
....however, I am willing to adapt to new ways of working = Sin embargo, estoy dispuesto a adaptarme a nuevos métodos de trabajar
Having re-read your question, it would seem from your use of the word plazo (period of timet) in your first sentence that you don't like/or find it difficult to complete work within a specified time period, under pressure...am I right?.If this is true, this is understandable and you are not alone in this....many people struggle with time management skills and not everyone can work easily under time/pressure deadlines. ..just make sure you are not applying for jobs/posts where this ability is an essential part of the work! lol
I hope this helps 
Nativos, corrijan mi español, por favor
