QUESTION 23 OF 30

How do you handle work stress?

"When I get stressed, I step back, take a deep breath, thoughtfully think through the situation and then begin to formulate a plan of action."

Humor, yoga or spending time with family. However you blow off some steam, make it positive and not suggest that you fall back on bad habits when stress gets to you. Skip saying you don't have any work stress because we all do. Tell the interviewer that you understand the pressures of the job and that you have experienced similar pressure before.

"To keep from bringing work stress home with me I like to run outside during my lunch breaks. The fresh air and excursive helps me clear my mind and give my very best at work."
