10. Do you work well under pressure?
How to Answer
If this is a strength of yours, be sure to share it and even include an example of a time you worked well under a decent amount of stress. Don't hold back! Share what you are capable of and how you manage stressful times. If working under pressure is not a strength, share that you are developing in this area and list some things that help you through. Consider sharing how you relieve stress and how you are able to get through stressful times.

Answer Example
"Yes, I do work well under pressure. Principals have to manage lots of high pressure situations like public speaking, having competing responsibilities, and making important decisions. I am able to remain calm in the midst of high pressure situations, and I do so by planning and preparing diligently, seeking wise counsel, and taking care of myself outside of work by getting exercise and spending time with my family."
