For many students, an internship is the first opportunity to be thrown into the mix to help solve real-world work problems and the Pfizer team is fully aware of this fact. Your interviewer wants to know if you are someone who can handle stress on the job in a healthy and productive manner.

Ronda Barnes

"Yes, I sure would! I always remain calm and look for ways to be more efficient. For instance, if there is a deadline, I will determine what can be done to meet that deadline. I will write down the steps to ensure successful completion and get started right away instead of procrastinating. I know that stressful situations are bound to happen in the workplace and I will remain professional and willing to adjust when I need to."

Explain how you manage stress and your ability to control the pressure that comes your way as an intern with Pfizer. This is a great opportunity to talk through a time during your schooling when you were overwhelmed and you worked your way out of it with a methodical approach.
