26. How do you handle stressful situations?
How to Answer
We all behave differently under stress. Be honest about how you react, and also be prepared to give details about how you mitigate the negative impact of your reactions. This is a chance to turn a negative into a positive.

Answer Example
"When things get stressful at work, I tend to get nervous and fidgety. So I just remind myself to take short breaks periodically. I set a timer and, when it rings, I stand up, take deep breaths, and stretch. I also keep a little notepad next to me to remind me of what I was working on just before the break, so that I can make sure I don't make mistakes or overlook something important."
