"One of the best things about me is my ability to work very well under extreme stress and pressure. My current manager has commented quite often on the fact that I am able to handle the pressure that comes with my position very well. I will take a deep breath, observe the situation and then react. It works well for me and helps me to avoid any overreacting."

I have no problem working under pressure, I focus on my task, make a plan of attack while keeping safety in mind, and execute my plan step by step. I have always been successful and on time.

Stephanie's Feedback

It sounds like you're comfortable working in stressful situations, but your response should be more specific as to how you manage that stress. You may want to include a specific example of a time when you navigated a stressful situation at work. You could also provide a few details about how you take care of yourself when you're stressed (for example, taking deep breaths, taking a five-minute walk to regroup, etc.) you want to leave your interviewer feeling confident that you're well-equipped to handle whatever challenges come your way in this role.
