When answering this question, make sure you don't try to convince the interviewer that you've never had to deal with stressful situations. What the interviewer wants to hear is how you have handled a stressful situation in the past. As a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor, "‹you may have had to deal with co-worker confrontation, non-compliant clients or relapse. How did you handle these situations in the past, find a solution and move on from the situation?

"Pressure is very important to me. Good pressure, such as having interesting clients, or a client with what seems to have an impossible case, helps me to stay motivated and productive."

Take notes as possible, b/c visual representation can help me seek solutions.
Determine what I can do & what is out of my control. Act to diffuse, reduce, or solve the reason for the stress.
Stepping away &/or handing the situation off to another worker; at least for a few minutes; is sometimes the best way to handle or solve a solution.
