QUESTION 23 OF 31

What part of your career brings you the most stress?

Stress can often be a regular part of the day-to-day work experience. Talk to the interviewer about which areas of your career are the most stressful. Ensure that your answer does not include a factor that would make you appear unfit for the position (ex: a retail associate should not find talking to strangers to be the most stressful part of the job).

"The part of my career that brings me the most stress is when the schedule is running behind for no good reason other than lack of hustle on my team's part. I like to be on time with our schedule to ensure that our clients receive proper assistance."

Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.

Anonymous Answer

The thing that stresses me most is working with people who don’t have a sense of urgency or who care more about the process than the result. With such a mismatch of values, I find I have to be more consciously exercise patience.

Marcie's Feedback

This is definitely understandable. Your answer is smart because it implies that you yourself work with urgency and care deeply about project results. Can you talk about a time when you worked with someone like this and explain how you successfully handled the situation? Good job!
