"To manage my work stress I make a point to leave the clinic for lunch each day. I like to sit outside and enjoy the fresh air with my packed lunch and a book. Relaxing during my lunch hour gives me my second wind."

Working within the medical career field you may encounter work stress. Tell the interviewer how you deal with your stress and use it to your advantage to motivate you. A little stress within the workplace can motivate you and keep things from getting boring. Managing your stress so it doesn't make you unhappy and unproductive is important. Tell the interviewer about a time you faced a stressful work situation and how you handled it.

Working out. It is how I manage all of my stresses in life. I also take time to reflect on stressful experiences. I believe it's helpful in processing emotions so that they don't build or compound with time.

Rachelle's Feedback

These are great coping mechanisms. Working out and internal reflection both show healthy habits. Good answer!
