Are you able to take a stressful situation and turn it around? The hiring manager would like an example of a time when you remained positive and were able to troubleshoot yourself out of the situation. Your answer should include a recent example but remain brief. If the interviewer wants you to expand on that, then do so when asked.

"One recent, and quite stressful time, was during a park maintenance job. It was a new location for us and my colleague ended up being exposed to poison ivy. We were already on a tight deadline. I was able to quickly administer an anti-itch ointment and take him back to his personal vehicle so that he could go to the doctor to be assessed. After that, I continued on the day by myself. I worked overtime that day to ensure my jobs were complete."
