The interviewer wants to be assured that you can handle the workload required of you in this position and that you will not become overwhelmed if/when workloads unexpectedly increase. When workloads increase, stress levels do too. How do you react?
"When I have a large workload on my plate, I do not stress over the tasks that are in front of me. Rather, I make a simple plan of which tasks are a high priority and which tasks are a lower priority. The higher priority tasks, I complete first. Through this system, I can focus on my tasks individually, rather than stressing out about the multitude of tasks ahead of me. I also love the satisfaction of being able to cross things off my list!"

As a college student, I often worked many hours a week while also being a full-time student and making time for fun social activities. Work volumes do not concern me because I am not someone that gets distracted or procrastinates on getting work done. I carve out time in my schedule, keeping a planner marked with times that I need to be dedicated to certain tasks. Then, I set a timer and remove distractions such as my phone. If a workload was impossible to complete, then it probably wouldn’t be assigned to begin with. I think the problem that most people have is getting off task and feeling dread towards the idea of a long work session.

Excellent! It sounds like you have developed an effective approach to scheduling your time, maintaining focus, and completing a large volume of work. Good for you! Consider also discussing some of the ways you effectively deal with stress, to ensure the interviewer that you have a healthy outlet, should you need it.
