It is important for EMTs to handle stressors on the job and have a way to deal with stress away from the job. Give a few examples of healthy ways you relieve stress. Do not answer that you like going to the bar with your partner after work. That might be true, but it is not a good answer in an interview.

"I handle stress by being physically active. My favorite ways to deal with stress are going on a long mountain bike ride or kayaking on the river. I like to bring my bike or kayak to work with me so I can exercise right after I get off shift. Those are the best ways for me to relieve stress."
