28: How do you handle stress and pressure?

Interviewer: How do you handle stress and pressure?

Candidate: I handle stress and pressure by staying organized and maintaining a positive mindset. When faced with a stressful situation, I break down the tasks into smaller, manageable steps and prioritize them based on urgency and importance. I also use time management techniques, like the Pomodoro Technique, to stay focused and avoid burnout. Regular communication with my team helps ensure everyone is on the same page and can share the workload if necessary. Additionally, I make sure to take short breaks to recharge and keep a healthy work-life balance. This approach helps me stay productive and manage stress effectively.
