Question # 20
Can you please explain how do you handle stressful situations?
lin
de
Answer:The safety of every child in our care is paramount. The most important measure that can be taken is open and proper communication. Poor communication instills
doubt, fear, and failure. I have many strong ideas on how to optimize our staff and center's communication skills as effectively and efficiently as possible, and even
open more methods of communication throughout the day.
e
Answer:Pressure is very important to me. Good pressure, such as having a lot of assignments to work on, or an upcoming deadline, helps me to stay motivated and productive.
Of course, there are times when too much pressure can lead to stress; however, I am very skilled at balancing multiple projects and meeting deadlines, which prevents
me from feeling stressed often. For example, I once had three large projects due in the same week, which was a lot of pressure. However, because I created a schedule
that detailed how I would break down each project into small assignments, I completed all three projects ahead of time, and avoided unnecessary stress.

M
O
Answer:I have worked many jobs where time management was a crucial and constant factor. I used to deliver newspapers on a deadline. I had to create and execute the most
time-efficient routes possible. Managing evening operations at a childcare center while preparing and serving meals took tremendous time management, but the
experiences that fostered within me the most effective time management skills came with working on an assembly line in a manufacturing factory. The units came
down the line one after another, and you had to have your task mastered in order to keep up. And the people that truly excelled at the job were those who not only
mastered their personal job, but the jobs of those around them as well. If the person in front of you falls behind, it is best to know how to get him or her back on track
as quickly as possible.

and what other things I can fit in as I go.
