Give me an example of a time when you successfully handled intense pressure.

"There's no doubt that there's a lot of stress and pressure in the life of a project manager. I personally reframe the stress and look at it positively; I like variety in my work life and many times enjoy the challenges that arise. I see them as puzzles for me to solve as quickly and efficiently as possible. Within my last role, we were two weeks out from the deadline with a few critical issues still needing to be resolved when one of my key team members got very sick and had to be hospitalized. I knew that I had to fix this fast so the project would stay on track. I laid out that person's tasks by priority and distributed them among other team members. Because of the time crunch, I also had to outsource some of the low-priority work to trusted contractors. I made sure to keep tabs on quality and set hard deadlines. In the end, we pulled it off and the project was completed successfully."
