First, the hiring manager is trying to see if you understand the differences between pressure and stress. Pressure should be viewed as a positive motivator while stress is negative and harmful when it occurs too often. Next, the employer will want to hear about an example of a time you were under pressure and rose to the occasion to complete a task. This is a great question to bring up your past experiences.

Points to Emphasize.

Bringing up relevant skills and experiences is an excellent way to address this question so that the hiring manager does not think you are just answering "Yes" purely because you think that is the best answer.

Discuss a time when you were under pressure to finish something and succeeded.

Talk about how pressure makes you a better worker.

Relate your past experiences to what will be expected of you in this new position.

Recognize the fact that pressure is, in fact, a part of the job.

There is nothing wrong with feeling pressured, and some people actually thrive under it. Assure the interviewer that when things get tough, you will be able to handle it.

Mistakes You Should Avoid.

Although feeling pressured is not ideal, you still need to tackle it head-on and avoid falling into these common traps and mistakes when asked this question.

Don't say that there has never been a time where you felt pressure.

Don't confuse pressure with stress and talk about a time you were overly stressed out.

Avoid talking about a time where feeling pressured was a result of your own actions.

Don't portray pressure in a negative light.

It is okay to feel pressure every now and then, and a hiring manager will want to know that when a lot is being put on your plate, you will face it with enthusiasm.

I can definitely work under pressure because without pressure life is nothing, pressure is the part of life like exam pressure, submission pressure, work pressure etc. But from that pressure, I learn more things.
