How do you handle stressful situations?
The interviewer wants to know what kind of skillset you have when it comes to dealing with stressful situations, and how you manage your own stress. They want someone who can deescalate a stressful scenario. Provide a brief example, but focus your answer on your methodology and the resolution.
"I try to be proactive in my strategies to manage stress. I use an online calendar to keep track of appointments and deadlines and I schedule time for paperwork and reports so that I can make the most of my day while I'm at work. I really try to limit the amount of work I bring home. I also commit to daily exercise to clear my mind and stay healthy. When I do feel stressed, I try to do some breathing exercises and carefully manage my time to ensure I work diligently, meeting deadlines to the best of my ability."
