"At times I struggle with working under pressure. Anxiety can prove to be problematic. That being said, what has helped me do better with deadlines and such, is taking a moment to breathe and put things into perspective. By planning out the steps to finish a task, what once appeared overwhelming, suddenly appears manageable."

With most jobs, deadlines are unavoidable. Those in the photography industry are not exempt from this reality. Employers want to hire people who are capable of handling deadlines without burning out. After they ask this question, be honest. If deadlines are no issue for you, that's great news, share it. If deadlines are problematic, admit this fact, but explain how you have grown in that area and what you will do to keep growing.

"I do work well under pressure. One of my old jobs required constant communication with clients. My boss had a tendency to tell me things last-minute, and this produced a high-stress environment. He gave me quick turnarounds all the time. Even so, I managed to pull through while working there, figuring out effective strategies for the stress and getting work done. The pressure was on, but I overcame."
