How do you handle stress?
In your role at BC Hydro, you will encounter times that put you under pressure and stress. Talk to the interviewer about your ability to control pressure in the workplace and possibly describe a situation that you successfully handled a stressful situation.
"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. I know this would be useful as a Coatings Specialist at BC Hydro. Staying on deadline is very helpful especially since this role works with customers and clients."
"Stress is part of any demanding job, and I embrace it to the fullest. Working at BC Hydro as an Instrumentation Database Analyst, I understand that working with instrumentation and databases may get stressful when things are not working correctly. I take good care of myself to prioritize my workload to maintain a healthy balance in my stress levels and problem solve where necessary."

I stay focused on the task at hand and make sure not to get distracted. I like to break the issue down to the simplest factor and work my way through the problem from there.

These are two great strategies to share with the interviewer. Don't forget to include any self-care (whether it's setting boundaries for work hours, engaging in hobbies, volunteering, etc.) that helps you destress and recharge.
