The interviewer wants to hear what you find stressful in the workplace and what measures you take to handle that stress to determine if you are level-headed and can remain calm under pressure. There is stress in all professions, and the interviewer wants to ensure that you will not let stress impact your performance. Describe what causes you the most stress at work, and explain how you cope with it.

The interviewer asked you to describe what causes you stress on the job, not in your personal life. Avoid answering with something unrelated to your profession. You should also avoid forgetting to mention how you handle the workplace stressors since the interviewer asked a two-part question.

"I feel stressed on the job when a deadline is moved up. It is stressful to be told I have two weeks to complete a project, but the deadline is moved to one week. To handle the stress, I rearrange my schedule, prioritize the most important tasks first, and delegate assignments when possible. I do not let the stress of the job interfere with my work; I just have to get creative and come up with a new plan."
