Due to high volume workloads at different times of the year, the work at Aetna can become stressful, and your interview has likely witnessed the effects of burnout in their department. In asking this question, they would like to know if you can appropriately handle the stress related to this job.

"I handle stress very well, and when you call my references, they will attest to this fact. When I am under pressure on the job, I focus on the task at hand and make sure not to get distracted. Staying on a deadline is very helpful, and I will delegate when necessary to alleviate some stress."

Discuss how you can thrive, even during the most stressful times. Keep your answer brief. If you can, provide an example of a time you implemented a stress-management technique in your current role when things got tough.
