How does one answer Tell me abt a time you worked under pressure/were under a lot of pressure? I brought up a work example but then interviewer was like nah can you give another one. But besides having to juggle uni work/occasional society event/job applications (which Idt I can mention) all at once I can’t think of what to say :/
Pressure doesn’t just have to be about time commitments, it can be about the responsibilities you have to deliver.
The key part of this is explaining why it was a pressurised situation for you. Someone who doesn’t have knowledge on something may find the situation more pressurised than someone who does. Someone who likes presenting may not find a situation of presenting their ideas to a group of people the same as someone who doesn’t like it.
Working in a law firm you are going to be under significant pressure a lot of the time, and firms need to be confident you can deal with that pressure as it’s not going to be a one off. Think about times you have been uncomfortable/concerned that you weren’t up to delivering what you were supposed to/meeting other people’s expectations and how you managed to still achieve what you needed to do and deal with managing those negative feelings of pressure.
