Tell me about a time when you faced an emergency situation.

If you have worked as a safety or healthcare professional in the past, you have experienced a wide variety of emergencies. The interviewer wants to hear that you know how to stay calm in the face of an emergency and follow procedures. You want to show them you have the common sense and the experience to know how to deal with major and minor emergencies. You will need to act quickly, making split-second decisions. Give an example that demonstrates your ability to deal with the stress of an emergency and successfully navigate the situation.
