Do you consider yourself a patient person? How do you increase your patience level in challenging situations?

Interviewers want to hire patient Cigna Interns who remain calm in challenging situations. Let the interviewer know that you are patient and professional and can increase your patience level during difficult times.

Avoid saying you are not a patient person. It requires patience to participate in a Cigna Internship, and the interviewer wants to see that you can remain calm and professional under pressure.

"I do consider myself a patient person. I would rate myself an eight out of ten for patience because I certainly have room to grow, but I do have a very long fuse. If I need a boost of patience in a challenging situation, I will take a step away, count to 10, and then return to the situation. I recently read a book, 'The Power of Patience' by M.J. Ryan, which also gave me some excellent new methods for coping with stress."
