The work environment at Red Bull can be fast-paced at times. How do you handle stress?
Some degree of stress is an inevitable part of most jobs. The interviewer wants to learn if you will be able to handle stress effectively and if you have experience managing pressure effectively in an ever-changing, fast-moving environment.
"I've gotten better at handling stress over the years and consider myself to be quite calm under high-pressure situations. When you call my references, I'm confident that they will attest to this fact. I aim to focus on the task at hand and make sure not to get distracted. I find working under a deadline is quite helpful, and I will delegate when necessary to alleviate some stress."
"I think of myself as being resilient when faced with stress and believe this is because of my experience working in a management role in a fast-paced environment for over a decade. Under times of extreme stress, I make sure to give myself a breather whether that be a quick walk around the block or a couple of minutes on the phone with my wife who is great at bringing me back down to earth."
Demonstrate the strategies you draw upon to effectively manage stress and ensure that it doesn't get in the way of doing your job effectively. You might even give an example of a time in the past when you effectively worked in a fast-paced environment. Highlight the strategies you employed to maintain a level head amidst stress.

I handle stress very well. I do a great job of staying calm when under pressure and focusing on the task at hand. Stress is involved in every situation whether at school like I'm currently doing or working in a busy restaurant. There are always stressful situations and I pride myself on being able to stay calm and think clearly during those situations.

Great. You're drawing on the past to show how you'd operate in the future which is helpful for the interviewer to envision you in the new job. Can you give a specific example that shows your methods in action?
