"I handle stress very well, and when you call my references, they will attest to this fact. When I am under pressure on the job, I focus on the task at hand and make sure not to get distracted. Staying on a deadline is very helpful and I do this by keeping detailed notes on my projects and always blocking my calendar to handle project work and day-to-day work that comes up. Finding a balance in this is key. If I ever become stressed in the moment, I take time to step away and gather my thoughts on how to attack a situation."

There are a few ways to attack answering this question if it comes up during your Administrative Fellowship interview. First, you'll want to talk about tips and tricks you use in your work to stay organized and on track with deadlines. Don't hesitate to talk about how you would block your calendar for email follow-up and keep long-term goals on pace. You can also discuss personal tactics you use to combat workplace stress and maybe these can be techniques you used during your college years. As well, don't hesitate to discuss things you do outside of the workplace to help ensure that your body and mind are prepared to handle anything thrown at you the next day on the job.
