Describe a time when you were faced with problems or stresses at work that tested your coping skills. What did you do? |

| Bearing the responsibility for the
success or failure of a project, it is important to note that stress
isn’t necessarily a bad thing as something that we all face at some
time of life, with different levels based on a variety of factors.
Stress can be a negative factor for some people, a disruptive emotion which can stop you from accomplishing your goals or make you ill. I have tried to use stress as a positive factor rather than allowing it to become a negative influence in the work place. I have learnt how to effectively manage stress, by firstly learning how to recognise it. In the past I used to experience a physical sign
of anxiety, a tightening in the chest resulting in an inability
to make a decision, after a period of time I began to recognise
how stress manifested itself in my life, and was able to take
measured steps to handle the emotion properly. |
