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.

"When I was working for the local fire department, I arrived on the scene of a brutal car accident. I had to carefully work with the paramedics to remove a woman from the car who had suffered a concussion and major lacerations to her face. I stayed calm and focused my attention on the safety of the injured individuals. We were able to provide support to the paramedics and successfully transport the woman to the hospital."
