The candidate should discuss an example of being under pressure on the job in the past and how they dealt with the situation. The candidate should mention how they dealt with the stress well, including taking deep breaths or completing the work regardless of the pressure they were under. If the candidate did not respond well, they should discuss how in retrospect they would have done better, showing that they are able to realize their faults and improve.

"Previously while editing, I was under a tight deadline, and only had one hour to complete one section of the film. However, I put in headphones and was able to block out anyone else trying to talk to me. I thankfully made the deadline and learned that in times of immense stress, as long as I trust I can get it done, I can do it."
