Thomson Reuters is a multi-billion dollar company so you can bet you will never run out of things to do when helping the business run smoothly. The interviewer wants to know that you can handle the workload required of you in this position and that you will not become overwhelmed when workloads unexpectedly increase. When workloads increase, stress levels do too. How do you react?

Here are some suggestions on how to handle a large workload:

- List your tasks and prioritize them
- Think of which jobs add to the company's bottom line, and start there (Closest to the money!)
- Exhale. Relax for a minute and collect yourself
- Organize your tasks by which ones you can complete independently and which ones you need help with
- Take sufficient breaks, so you do not exhaust yourself
- Communicate your struggles with your leadership or team
