Q1: Does your current job entail working under pressure a lot? Do you cope well under pressure?

Answer:

This and the following 2 questions are both very common interview questions and it might be useful to stress this to the student.

It’s important to be honest in your response—but you also need to prove that you can work under pressure regardless.

If you don't work well under pressure, focus your answer on how you're improving.

You want to turn a negative into a positive, just as you'd do when asked, “What’s your greatest weakness?”

By sharing your process for managing stress with the interviewer, it will show them that you're both honest and serious about succeeding.

Q2: Describe a stressful situation and how you handled it.

Q3: Tell me about a time when you were overwhelmed at work. How did you handle it?

Q4: Is stress ever a good thing? How so?

Answer:

Some stress is good for you. While too little stress can lead to boredom and depression, too much can cause anxiety and poor health.

The right amount of acute stress, however, tunes up the brain and improves performance and health.

Q5: Does your workplace offer any resources for managing with stress? What do you personally do to manage stress?

Answer: Student's own answer
