"I handle stress very well. I keep very detailed 'to-do"

"I am accustomed to working high-stress jobs. If I find that I am deep into a stressful situation, I will take a minute to take a few breaths and reassess my progress."

You should anticipate a little bit of stress in any job. Consider it unavoidable. The best thing you can do is equip yourself with the tools to deal with that inevitable stress. Knowing how to handle pressure will help you to navigate the ups and downs in a continually changing environment.

Take some time to think about what you would do when you are busy at work, feeling your heart rate rise and your nerves begin to shake. Your coping skills outside of work might be difficult to apply, as you can't stop what you're doing and run to yoga class. However, you can take deep breaths and allow yourself to take a break in between customers, for example.
