QUESTION 9 OF 30

Tell me in detail how you remain calm during a crisis.

As a paramedic, you have experienced stress. By now, it may have become second nature because you've learned to focus on the procedures you need to do to get through it. The way that you answer this question will be crucial. Walk the interviewer through a recent situation and how you handled the situation.

"During a stressful situation, I stay focused and communicate with my partner. I stay present and use my energy efficiently by following routine checks and moving quickly. If there is massive blood loss, I focus on stopping the bleeding, pressure points, and patient care. There is no time to be anxious or frantic."

"I remain calm by taking a deep breath and assessing the situation. I feel confident in my skills and training, and I always handle crises as I am trained. When I am calm, I can help diffuse the situation and calm others around me."
