The interviewer asks this question to determine if you can handle stress on the job. Working as a Cigna Intern can be stressful and fast-paced, and the interviewer wants to determine whether you will be a good fit for the team if hired. Talk to the interviewer about your ability to handle pressure in the workplace and the techniques you use to minimize job stressors.

Tell the interviewer that you understand how to decompress away from work so you are ready to mentally handle the pressures of your job. Interns are less apt to burn out or become sick or injured from stress when they understand the stress factor of their job and have healthy ways to relieve stress.

Avoid saying you do not handle stress well. If you cannot deal with the job stressors, the interviewer will determine you may not be a good fit for Cigna. If you feel you need to work on handling stress better, it might be good to research ways to manage stress before your interview.
