WRITTEN BY CHRISTINA ERNE
QUESTION 22 OF 30

How well do you work under stress?

The candidate should discuss their experience working under pressure. News can break quickly and decisions often need to be made instantaneously. The candidate must prove that they can make these quick decisions with the same level-headedness as they would with less stress at the time.

"I am used to the high stress environment of a newsroom. I have experience making quick decision making and I know that I make the same decisions under stress that I do on a slow news day."
