"When the schedule is running behind due to lack of hustle on mine or my team's part, I find it stressful. I like to be on time with my schedule to ensure that our patients and clients get the proper, timely help that they need. I am always diligent about balancing being thorough and timely during the clinic day and do so by using all of the tools at hand to stay on track."

"To be completely transparent, I probably bring myself the most stress because of my innate desire to be the best. I strive for perfection too often, which causes undue stress on myself. I manage this by focusing my energy on productive activities that are good for my career."

Talk to the interviewer honestly about which areas of your work are the most stressful. Ensure that your answer does not include a factor that would make you appear unfit for the position (i.e., a healthcare worker should not find facing illness to be the most stressful part of the job). To seal your answer, you should talk about how you handle the stress in your work to ensure that you are able to remain focused, productive, and healthy for yourself, your colleagues, and the patients you work with.
