      Entry Level

      "Stress is part of any demanding job, and I embrace it to the fullest. I take good care of myself and prioritize my workload to maintain a healthy balance in my stress levels."

      Answer Example

      "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 to not get distracted. Staying on deadline is very helpful and I will delegate when necessary to alleviate some stress."

      Experienced

      "Through my eight years of experience working as a veterinary assistant, I have learned a great deal about the stress associated with helping animals. An animal cannot speak to you and tell you what they need, and when they are in distress - this can be upsetting. I keep myself collected in the workplace by keeping my eye on the prize, which is a healthy, happy animal."
