At Fannie Mae, our team members often have to work under a tight deadline. Talk about a time you had to work under a tight deadline in the past. How did you handle that situation and what made it a success?

The financial field can often be chaotic and stressful for those working on high-pressure deadlines. As a government-sponsored enterprise, Fannie Mae is not known for having the same notoriously demanding hours as other financial corporations. Regardless, as an analyst at Fannie Mae, you will still be expected to work efficiently under time constraints and stick to deadlines.

Choose a situation--ideally, one in the financial space--that demonstrates your ability to work efficiently and calmly under an impending deadline. Regardless of which situation you choose to discuss, be sure to demonstrate how you remained calm, focused, and on-task to get the job done.
