This common interview question allows the interviewer to gauge how you might handle stressful situations at work. How you handle stress gives insight into your soft skills, such as critical thinking, problem-solving, adaptability, communication, and leadership. Describe how you handle stress, and focus on the positive actions you take when dealing with a stressful situation.

"I handle stress extremely well. I don't focus on the cause of the stress or how it might negatively affect me. Instead, I focus on how to diminish the stress and solve the problem. For example, when I was going to school for my bachelor's degree, I felt stressed by all the assignments I had to complete. Instead of becoming overwhelmed, I bought a day planner and wrote a checklist and timeline of when projects and papers were due. Once I became more organized, I did not feel as stressed about the assignments."
