Question 15 of 40

What part of this career brings you the most stress?

As with any interview question, the goal isn't telling them what you think they want to hear. It is what you choose to reveal about your skill level, personality, attitude, and motivators. Stress can be a regular part of any day-to-day work experience. However, this question centers on how well you can navigate and manage your stress. Someone who can't help but allow their stress to dictate their responses doesn't have mastery over their emotions and may not be able to perform as well as someone who has a high EQ, who can separate their emotions from their professional approach. Consider this when formulating your answer. Freely volunteer what part of the job stresses you out on occasion. Then explain how you cope with and overcome situational stressors at work in a methodical, logistical approach that serves to benefit the workplace and your teams.
