Working at Parexel is fast-paced and perhaps stressful at times. The interviewer wants to hear that you can handle the pressure and have experience dealing with stress in the workplace. Describe some techniques you use to manage stress at work and give examples, if possible. Avoid complaining or being negative in your answer.

"I think we all experience stress in different ways. One of the most experienced work-related stress, for me, is not being able to give everyone the results that they want in a clinical trial. Although it is frustrating, I am also mature enough to know that if we don't succeed at something today, tomorrow we can try again."

"I think I cause myself more stress than any external event or situation. I say that because I put a great deal of pressure on myself to be successful and see things through to the end. As researchers we don't always get the results we are hoping for. I have to remind myself that that is why we do research. We search, and then we re-search."
