24. How do you handle stressful situations?
How to Answer
How you respond to stress could determine whether you are a good fit for their team or not. Be sure to back up your answer with a reference to a previous compliment or performance review.
Answer Example
"I respond well in stressful situations. My previous supervisor often complimented me on this fact as well. When I do find myself in a stressful situation, I am sure to take a step back. I breathe, and then assess before reacting. I am conscious to always react in a way that I would be proud of, no matter how high the stress level is."
