Why ask Stress Management Questions?
Stress interview questions are designed to put the interviewee into an awkward situation, to see how they perform under stress. Some jobs require employees to work under stress, and some interviewers just like to see how applicants handle stressful questions.
These types of strategic interview questions require you to provide the interviewer with an example situation that you experienced in your work situations. These questions focus on work situations that you experienced in the past and how you responded to them. The way you respond to these questions tells the interviewer more about your personality, work processes, and ethics.
