During the interview, the interviewer asked: How is your ability to withstand stress? What’s a better answer?

Let me first talk about why I need to understand a person’s ability to withstand stress. This ability to withstand stress does not mean how many overtime shifts you can work, or how many orders you can make like sales, which will immediately bring profits to the company.

It is about the stability of a person and the ability to learn and grow. This is very important. For example, a person I just recruited told me to leave on the second day after joining the company. The reason was that after a meeting with their technical team, they found that there was a big gap between what they originally did and that they might need to be exposed to a lot of new knowledge and skills. Replace it with someone who is resistant to stress, loves learning, loves challenges, or hopes to improve his skills. Then he will not want to retreat, but will be more excited and want to make a plan immediately to help him integrate quickly. Team, get to work and learn things in unknown areas.

As for those who are highly resistant to stress, when they encounter difficulties at work in the future, the first thing they think of is how to solve the difficulties, while those who are weak in stress tolerance are more likely to choose to give up. Not only does it mean that he has given up the opportunity to improve himself, but it is also very disadvantageous from the perspective of the company team. It is like playing a game and facing a headwind situation. If you are good at stress resistance, you will look at the reasons. A lack of economy will make up for the economy, and a lack of strategy will make up for the strategy. . Instead of standing still in the spring water. If there are a few more like this, the game will definitely be lost and the team will definitely stop moving forward. We start the game again and select people. How to calculate the sunk costs?

So now I am thinking about how to use a short interview to test whether he has stress resistance, whether he is a person who can work seriously, does not let go easily, and likes to improve himself?
