QUESTION 22 OF 35

Tell me about your ability to work under pressure and handle stressful situations.

"I handle stress very well, and when you call my references, they will attest to this fact. When I am under pressure, for example, around holidays, I focus on the task at hand and not get distracted. Staying focused on the daily goals is very helpful, and I will delegate when necessary to alleviate some stress."

The interviewer wants to know if you are someone who can handle stress on the job. Explain how you manage stressful times and your ability to control pressure in the workplace.

"I always remain calm and look for ways to be more efficient. For instance, if there is an unexpected deadline, I will determine what can be done to meet the deadline. I will also delegate a few tasks if necessary. In brief, I am always ready to adjust my approach because stressful situations are bound to occur in a retail environment."
