Talk to the interviewer about how you identify and manage stress in the workplace. Stress can often be a regular part of the day-to-day work experience. The interviewer wants to ensure that you have healthy ways to manage stress and that it will not interfere with your work.

"I have worked in healthcare for three years and feel I handle stress very well. My medical training prepared me for the stressors of this job, and I learned coping mechanisms that allow me to work in stressful situations while remaining calm and professional. I also take time on my days off to relax and do activities that bring me peace, so I am ready for the job stressors when I return to work."

"I handle stress extremely well. Instead of becoming stressed out when under pressure, I focus on the task at hand and do not let myself become overwhelmed by the stressful situation. I relieve stress on my days off and after work by exercising and listening to music. Both of those activities help to energize me for my next shift and whatever will come my way."

Focus on explaining how well you handle stress. You can describe what you do when faced with stressful situations at work and how you take time for yourself on your days off to better prepare you for your next shift.
