If
you preparing for Interviews, here is one more question HR/Interviewer can demand
you.
Can you work under Pressure?
Let’s
see how you can respond to it. But
you should clarify HOW you handled
that Pressure.
HR:
·
Can
you work under Pressure?
·
Can you tell me about a time when
you were under significant pressure?
·
Do you thrive under pressure?
Interviewee: Yes, I can. (Say
confidently, though you are not recollecting some events/ moments/ situation at
that time)
NOTE- “Yes, I can” is the time frame you
have given to recollect situation where you found yourself under stress and how
you handled that situation very well.
Answer
1- I actually work better under pressure and I've found that I enjoy working in
a challenging environment.
Answer
2- I can work under deadlines
and pressures and planning lead
to success that's what I believe the most.
Answer 3- I can. Pressure and stress are unavoidable aspects
of the world we live in. In my current job, I can be faced with stressful
situations that require me to work under pressure on a daily basis and have
since learned to manage stress. Now it’s just part of the job that I do well.”
Answer 4- “Yes, I actually enjoy working under pressure, though I believe
that proper planning and good time management will reduce any alarming
deadlines.”
Answer 5-. “Yes, I work well under pressure. But I believe that by simply
reacting to a situation, you are creating the pressure. Instead of reacting to
a problem, I will review the facts at a greater speed and respond to the
situation with a solution all while keeping a clear head.”
The key to formulating your answer to this question is to
seize this as an opportunity to talk about a situation or an occasion where you
were under pressure – and you how rose to the challenge.
Remember, Pressure is largely a positive force and a
motivating factor for many people.
