Stress is often a regular part of the day-to-day work experience, especially in healthcare. Talk to the interviewer about which areas of your career are the most stressful. Ensure that your answer does not include a factor that would make you appear unfit for the position. (i.e., a healthcare professional should not find the sight of blood to be the most stressful part of the job).

"The part of my career that brings me the most stress is when the schedule is running behind. I like to be on time with my schedule to ensure that our patients and clients are assisted properly. What I have found helpful is scheduling the patients an extra five minutes apart, so the schedule stays on track."

"To be completely transparent, I probably bring myself the most stress because of my innate desire to be the best. I strive for perfection too often, which causes undue stress on myself. I manage this by focusing my energy on productive activities that are good for my career."

Focus on ending your response on a positive note. Briefly describe what part of your career you find stressful, then explain what you do to combat the stress.
