"I actually work well under pressure and do not get stressed out too easily. But I do understand the stresses of this position and incorporate stress-reducing activities into my life. For example, every morning, I spend 30 minutes planning my day, so I am organized and ready to go. I also spend 30 minutes every evening doing some type of exercise, which includes yoga, walking my dog, and riding my bike. I find when I am organized every morning and exercise every evening, it helps keep my stress levels down."

As you answer this question, you ideally want to describe any stress-reducing techniques you have to keep your stress levels down. This can and should include methods you use on the job as well as things you do outside of the workplace to ensure your mind and body are stress-free. It's also a great idea to talk through a time when you handled a very stressful work situation with ease to impress your interviewer at ICON plc.
