Talk to the interviewer about your ability to manage pressure in the workplace. Civil engineering isn't necessarily the most stressful career path in the world, but there will be times where you're facing a tight deadline or dealing with a difficult client with a long list of demands and little patience.
"I think I handle stress very well. 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. I've found that I am able to manage my stress levels much more effectively when I keep a running checklist of tasks that need to be done each day."
