"I always remain calm and look for ways to be more efficient. For instance, if there is a deadline, I will determine what can be done to meet that deadline. I will write down the steps to ensure successful completion and get started right away instead of procrastinating. I know that stressful situations are bound to happen in the workplace and I will remain professional and willing to adjust when I need to."
