𝗖𝗮𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲?

Though this is a classic question in most job interviews, it can also signal a warning.

The question itself is not unusual.

Many industries require the ability to handle high-stress situations. So, it would be best if you dug deeper.

Please ask the interviewers about the team dynamics and workload expectations.

Consider this example: a doctor in a busy hospital will undoubtedly work under pressure, unfortunately.

However, if you’re applying for a role at a startup, constant pressure could mean they are understaffed or potentially mismanaged.

You see, context matters.

Pressure on its own may not be a red flag. Mismanagement, however, definitely is.

So, next time you are asked this question, don’t hesitate to ask for more details.

You are not just there to be interviewed- you are there to interview them, too.

Remember, it’s your career, your decision.

Why step into a high-pressure situation without a clear understanding?

Have you ever been in a high-pressure situation and have had to ask this critical question?
