QUESTION 20 OF 30
How do you mitigate and manage stress?
The life of an accountant can be stressful, especially during busier times like monthly close and the annual audit. The interviewer wants to gain insight into how you react to stressful situations.
"Due to tight deadlines and the demands of the accountant role, stress is inevitable. However, there are steps I take to help mitigate stress. First, I try to be as organized as possible. I am constantly prioritizing my workload to make sure time-sensitive tasks are handled before they are due. Next, I try to leave work at work. When not at work, I enjoy hiking, cooking, and traveling. Being able to enjoy these activities makes me feel calmer and rejuvenated while at work."
