Pension Consultant Interview Question:

Tell me how do you handle high-pressure situations at work?

Submitted by: Muhammad

One high-pressure situation we were in recently is that a business contacted us interested in setting up a policy for all their employees, totaling over 150 individuals. It was a huge potential case that would have brought in a lot of money for our organization. My boss encouraged everyone to dedicate a majority of their resources to landing this client. It required some late nights and working on the weekend to get everything together, but I managed to get through by talking everything out with my colleagues. Everyone else was going through the same thing, so it was easy to talk with my peers so that we could discuss trepidation or worries. It was really helpful to have people who understood precisely what I was going through, and we ended up landing the client in the end.
