"Yes, I am quite resilient to stress and pressure on the job. I have learned how to deal with everyday stress and the pressure of a fast-paced environment throughout my career. When I was working in a busy restaurant, I dealt with a wide variety of personalities. One night we were slammed, and I had just worked two double shifts in a row, but I managed to resolve a customer complaint about the steak and keep a positive attitude the whole night! This experience in the food industry has prepared me well for any customer interaction I would have here at the USPS."

"As you can see from my resume, I've worked the last two years in production at a large factory, and we experienced our fast-paced and slower times. During times of heavy production, it took a full team effort to make things happen. I was first in line to sign up for overtime and knew when to buckle down and work more diligently in my tasks."
