IT is a fast changing world, which makes work environment stressful sometimes. Interviewers want to know how you react in such a situation. Obviously, employers want someone who performs well in stressful situations and can work under pressure.
It is not a matter of whether or not you can handle stressful situations or you like to work under pressure. Everyone can do it but no one wants it. To play the interview game, you just need to explain how have you dealt with stressful situations in the past, how have you used time management and problem-solving skills to reduce stress, and tell interviews you get used to work under pressure.
Sample Answer:
“I’m not afraid of stress and pressures. I can do a good job in difficult situations. In my previous job I always had to face stress when I was involved in multiple projects and deadlines were near. But I’ve built time management and problem-solving skills to handle this situation and I’ve learned how to adapt to changing situations and shift priorities. Personally I have a few ways to reduce stress: take a break to stretch, have a short walk in fresh air, or get a little exercise, they are all helpful. If I find that the stressful situation would affect my team’s productivity, I would discuss it with my manager.”
