Sedgwick needs to assess your emotional intelligence and whether you can maintain a cool and collected demeanor, even when in the most high-pressure situations. When helping their clients with high-priority stress events, or dealing with something in the workplace not going according to plan, how you answer may offer insights into whether you'd navigate stressful situations in the empathetic and supportive manner their clients have come to trust Sedgwick for and which they rely on. To do this, the assessment vendor will screen you on your non-verbal cues, facial expressions, eye movements, body movements, tells and posture, and the nuances of tone and choice of words for any signs of discomfort, agitation, or stress.

To frame yourself as an expert who is aligned with their values, you'll want to suggest you view these situations as challenges and have no issues maintaining a calm, collected, and empathetic view when observing such events with objectivity. An expert encourages a sense of urgency with a positive can-do attitude; they lead by example and are a stabilizing force for their teams and clients, guiding them, through experience, to a desirable outcome with comforting self-assured confidence. When deciding which example to share, reflect on those moments where you were able to act decisively and drive success for your teams or clients. Convey how you manage your stress in those best of times. Focus on the pride of that moment and let your confidence and emotional maturity shine.

"I had a virtual meeting with a client scheduled for a half-hour after I arrived at work one day. But a major multi-car collision happened on the road and created gridlock everywhere for miles. So, I gratefully had my laptop with me, and in dead-stop traffic, googled a work-share space near my location. So I navigated my way to it, paid for the daily rate, and was able to have my important virtual meeting in a professional environment suitable for the occasion. It was stressful making it on time, but I simply had my stress instead of allowing it to have me. The meeting was a success. By the time it was over, traffic cleared and I made it into work shortly after."
