Do you work well under pressure?
As a woodworker, there will be times you must work under pressure. The interviewer wants to determine that you can handle the pressures of the job, remain calm and productive, and meet critical deadlines. Describe how you work well under pressure using a recent project as an example.
Avoid saying that you do not work well under pressure or that you leave the job when things get tough. The interviewer does not want to hire someone who cannot handle the pressure of the job or retreats when pressure is put upon them.
"Yes, I work very well under pressure. I worked in a factory for the past four years, mass-producing furniture. I was under constant pressure to meet the company's quota, and I found that remaining laser-focused on the task at hand allowed me to handle the pressure put upon me."
