QUESTION 13 OF 35
Do you work well under pressure?
Working well under pressure is an essential skill to have as an Orthopedic Physician Assistant. You will be handling emergencies and surgeries, working long days on your feet, and applying splints and casts to injured patients. Describe to the interviewer what keeps you calm and unflustered when working under pressure.
"I work extremely well under pressure, and feel that some of my best work is done under stress. I worked as a Paramedic before changing careers, and I was always working under pressure. I can remain calm and in control in stressful situations and delegate duties where needed. Working as a team with common goals definitely helps in high-pressure situations."
