QUESTION 14 OF 30

How do you handle working under pressure or tight deadlines?

"I take that stress, pound coffee, and keep at it. I use that energy and put it to good use. Some allow their stress to get the best of them and choose to interpret that cortisol as a negative - fight or flight. But I use that burst of cortisol, get to work, and work hard and fast as if my life depended on it. This is why I am the right person for the job when you need someone in a pinch. I deliver."

A Border Force Officer is expected to perform in high-pressure environments and situations. Try to come up with an example of when you made well-balanced decisions and maintained your calm and professional focus while working in a high-pressure situation on the job. As they state on their website, they are looking for "only those candidates who display those qualities."
