I HATE LOVE!!!


Have you ever been in love? It makes you so vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens up your heart and it means that someone can get inside you and mess you up. You build up all these defenses, you build up a whole suit of armor, so that nothing can hurt you, then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person, wanders into your stupid life...You give them a piece of you. They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness, so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should be just friends' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain.
I hate love.

Yahoo multi messenger 8.x and 9.x

This application will allow you to run multiple instances of Yahoo Messenger on your pc! Perfect for those who have several different yahoo id's and would like to be logged in to them at once. Please note that the Y!Multi Messenger versions coincide with the Yahoo Messenger versions and are build specific. Meaning you must be using the same version of each to work properly.

This is intended for the newest build of messenger and may not work properly on lower builds.

Just run the install and then start using the Y!Multi Messenger icon that will appear on your desktop instead of the regular Yahoo! Messenger icon.

How to use it:

Just double click the desktop icon to load up X amount of Yahoo! Messengers, thats it!
Note - you may have to uncheck the "Automatically Sign In" option on the login screens though or you will start getting the "You have been logged out as you were logged in on a different machine" message.

You can run the registry editing script to do this for you if you are not sure what to uncheck, go ahead...open it in an editor first if you want, its 100% safe and will not mess anything up.

Requirements: Newest version of Yahoo! Messenger installed.

Get paid to write reviews

I joined this site a month ago although I know that they truly pay i was at first asked myself what to write about and how does their system works. Well, it was easy actually its just that i didn't put much effort on it but I saw members there who are paid hundreds of dollars through their paypal.. You just have to write a typical product review like shampoo, lotion, appliances, anything on earth that you can think of. You can write a negative and positive reviews as well. It's like informing consumers about the benefits of such product that you have tried or your currently using. You can post pictures of it also and if ever certain members reviewed certain products you can comment and vote for that products as well. Cool huh?

This morning when I checked my mail i received and email from them informing me my earnings for the month of April. I only review 1product which is a body lotion and commented and vote on certain products that are posted there and they are about to pay me $0.07cent. It really pays to share. Not bad right?

The site is called sharedreviews. Too bad they don't have an affiliate program. But i hope you can earn from them as well. Its free to register.

Happy earning everyone..

First of all its really possible to earn online. But there is no such things as getting rich quick online. You really have to work hard in order for you to earn some money. You have to market your blog and make it traffic friendly so you'll get unique hits everyday. And not only that you have to make your blog appetizing for the readers so they'll keep coming back for more. Your blog should be interesting to your readers, always updated and is really worth reading. It should be what interests you as well so you won't get bored posting on the process.

Before starting up you should conceptualize your blog whether you want to personalize or monetize it. Research for a free blog hosts like blogger, xanga, multiply, freewebs, wordpress and many others. If you can afford it you can buy your own domain so you can have a dot com domain and you can personalize it and tweak it to suit your preferences. You should also look for a cooler and nicer templates that can add to the wow factor of your blog.

If you plan to monetize your blog you should first get a Paypal account because this is where all your money or earnings from your blog is going to accumulate. You can enroll here for free just click this link. By the way did i told you that payments are in US Dollars or Euros? After you get your paypal account go to Unionbanks homepage and sign up for an EON Visa Card, first fill up the form then you can dropby at the nearest Unionbank near you to get the EON Visa Card be prepared to pay 350php and bring an extra 300php to deposit in your EON Visa card then activate and verify your Paypal account using the number provided in your EON Visa card, this is where you can encash your payouts from paypal and withdraw it to Unionbank ATM machines.

Now we are all set to make money online. This is how I did it.
1. I signed up for google adsense account - I can post ads on blogs and as soon as I reached 100USD google will pay me.

2. When my blog reached 2months I signed up with Sponsored Review,
Smorty, Buyblogreview, Blogsvertise,


Payperpost and many more. This way I can earn just by writing a review for some advertisers products and services. And once approved they will pay you through your paypal account.

3. I joined up some paid to click website which is 0.01 cent per click and paid via paypal as well. You can see this program here in my site.

Lost but not yet found: My HEART

Falling to someone like you maybe so
easy. You're kind, sweet as cherries,
and as beautiful as sunrise. Yes, i
fall from your charms and smiles from
your face. You're face lights up my
whole world. Your charms completed a
piece in my puzzle. BUT then You stole
my heart and left me hanging. i dont
know what to do coz i just let you
stole it and hoping that you'll return
her back. Days had passed and even
months, but my heart never returns. I
decided to find where you had hid it
but you refused to let me in. I was so
lost to find it. I was confident
before because I thought that when the
time you've stole it from me, i know
she'll come back quickly . But i
wasn't able to figure out where the
hell my heart is. You stubbed my
chest, dissect it and got my heart. i
don't know where you put it. im afraid
to ask. I'll be a like a fool if i'll
still continue this fantasy of finding
where my heart is. But please, if you
had junk it or put her somewhere
around your heart, or maybe you're
still holding it in your arms..,,
please.. return it to me.. let me have
my heart back.. let me be the one to
fix it... let me move on and let other
thief stole my heart. There were a lot
of them who had passed by, but they
never found my heart because my heart
is with you.

let me have it.. let me in and find
it...

Adsense Payout via Western Union


I am reaching now for my very first payout in Google Adsense and I did my researched on how to claim the money through western union. This is what a fellow taught me. They will not send you any email notification. If you will reach at you payout in April then they will send your payment at 25th of May.

For example you selected western union as your payment method then you should check your ''Payment History'' at 27th of that month. And you will see ''Payment in progress''. If this message will be there then hopefully your payment will be processed till next morning. And if you payment has been sent then there will be a link in ''Payment History'' That will be ''Payment Details'' link. Click and it and you can get you western union details from that page. And go to your near western union office with your ID card and collect your money.

I hope this will help you.

How to earn money online: Marketing Pond - Sink or Swim?


Stop jumping around like frogs without a pond!


Some free to earn programs will pay you a percentage of earnings for those that you bring into their program. This is known as 'referrals'. You refer people to the free to earn program, and you will earn more. How much more you earn when you refer, is usually going to be based upon the referrals activity in 'some way'.
At Marketing Pond, we realize some things never pan out or never last forever. We don't believe in hype or exaggeration. We believe in being honest and telling you the straight up possibilities. The guarantee of making $500 to $1,000 and more per month, is in fact there. It won't happen over night. And it will happen faster for some members and slower for others.
In the program list, you need to join every program listed if at all possible. This is because it is near impossible to earn significant growing income, from one free to earn program. If you are already a member of one or more listed programs, you do not need to join the program again.
Marketing Pond also uses a uni-level matrix. Our matrix is through infinity. When you sponsor members to your Marketing Pond, they will all be your first level personally sponsored referrals. You will see their ID in your DIRECT REFERRALS list. You will also receive an email notification of the newly sponsored member you have referred.
Although you only receive notifications on those you personally sponsor and you only see your DIRECT REFERRALS list, your matrix could build through many levels due to the efforts of those you sponsor and so on.
INDIRECT referrals here, only means that members some where down the line, joined directly under you in a program. For example, if you see you have 20 indirect referrals, this does not mean that is what your matrix is comprised of. In reality, you may have hundreds or even thousands on down through your Marketing Pond matrix. The 'indirect referrals' count simply means that one or more members down the line did not join one or more programs and directly enrolled in that program/programs under you.
FIRST THING TO DO
Of course, the very first thing to do is read this entire page. After reading this page, click the Programs&Stats in the left hand column. Begin by enrolling in the first program by clicking the program name. Continue enrolling in every program listed (a few programs may not be available to your country residence). If you are already a member of any of the programs, you do not need to rejoin.
SECOND THING TO DO
After enrolling in a program, that program will give you a referral url. Some programs have a referral url with an id number and others will be a referral url with an id name. Some times the program will email you a confirmation and / or welcome message and include your referral url for that program. However, you can always locate your referral url/id within that programs member area. Usually it is easy to find. If you have a problem locating your referral id for any program, visit the forum and let us help point you in the direction to retrieve it.
Every time you join a listed program, be sure to log back into your member area and enter the ID that program gives you. As stated, your ID is usually easy to locate within the referral url assigned to you by the program.
Do NOT enter urls, email addresses, etc. Our software already has the referral url of each program implemented. The only thing left out is the ID. So that is the only thing you place in the box by the program name is the ID assigned to you.
After entering an ID into the program box, scroll down the program list page and click 'Update'. By clicking the update button, you are locking in your ID's for the programs. Those you sponsor to Marketing Pond will be joining the programs directly under you. So it is very important to place all the correct ids in the box's and to join all or as many of the programs as possible before promoting your Marketing Pond.
THIRD THING TO DO
You'll notice that Marketing Pond also includes some free advertising programs in the program list. Some of these are totally autopilot systems. Most will ask for an ad and/or a url. Place a Marketing Pond ad and your Marketing Pond referral url.
Remember, those you sponsor to Marketing Pond will be joining all the programs they are not already a member of, directly under you. This means more advertising credits for you. And of course it means more money for you within the free money programs.
FOURTH THING TO DO
You'll notice in the left hand column 'Refer&Promote'....click there to get banners and images for your blogs and websites. You'll also see that your two promotional urls are listed.
Browse around and read everything in Marketing Pond. There is not a lot to read here and our system is simple yet can be very lucrative in more ways than one.
At first glance, our program list may appear overwhelming. I assure you it is not and if you follow our plan, you will make free money online and you could make a lot of it.
FIFTH THING TO DO
Be sure to register at our forum. It is very fast and simple to register. There are loads of members at our forum that are willing to help you with questions, etc. The forum does send a confirmation email so be sure and register with a good email address.
We also have some free digital products here in the member area that you are welcome to take. Many have resell and give-a-way rights.
For tips on getting direct sign ups to Marketing Pond, be sure to read the 'BULLFROGS' page.
Remember, Everything Is Free At Marketing Pond.
The plan is to develop our own Marketing Pond free money program in the latter part of this year (2007). As a Marketing Pond member, you will always be entitled to everything we do, free.
You really can make $500 to $1,000 or more every month by utilizing free money programs. Marketing Pond gives you a free system to help you make very good money online with absolutely $0 outlay. Marketing Pond does not pay you. Each free to earn program pays you according to their terms.

Browser Tweaks and Tricks: How to speed up Firefox?

Search for the following entries and make the listed changes to them below.Use the entire entry up to the equal's sign. If an entry does not exist by default which several of them do not then you will need to create them. To do this right click below the filter window and choose new -->integer or new -->boolean. To know which one you need to choose it goes like this. Choose integer if the value you are going to add is a number and choose boolean if the value you are adding is "true" or "false" statement.

  • browser.cache.memory.capacity=65536

Firefox is allocated 4096 KB of memory by default and in this configuration we give it roughly 65MB as denoted by the last line. This can be changed according to what is used.

While there are some extensions and improvements that have been made with Firefox since some of these tweaks were first posted on the net I have found that they really do speed up Firefox noticeably

Traffic Generator


Trafficg Website Promotion - I recently joined this traffic generator site wishing to gain traffic from all over the world. I'll cross my fingers for that. As we all know a sign of a good and high quality websites depends upon the traffic and how interesting your content is. But since its very difficult to just rely on yourself and some social networking I might as well join some site which offers free promotional campaign for my site right? All i have to do in exchange is to earn credits by surfing some other websites this way you can earn hits or points. I just wish this will work. I am not really sure if this is an affiliate program since I am new in this money making stuff on the net. I will put proof here as soon as I can prove that my sight really has gained a lot of unique hits and traffics. And in a bloggers perspective traffic means money. Right?

For the meantime I will put my counter here and I will observe in the next 24-48 hours if my traffic skyrocketed.

X - crossing my fingers.

BEWARE OF THIS SITE

This following site that I am going to review..I highly recommend that you avoid at all costs. The site I am going to warn you about awsurveys(dot)com! Why would I warn you about joining this site? Well a few things that really caught my attention are..

(1st) Reason is..Minimum payout is $75.00, a very high number to try to reach before you can get paid

(2nd) Reason is..This site offers two methods of payment (should you reach minimum payout)! First method is by Postal Service (United States) and a according to their FAQ's "is free, which generally takes 4-6 weeks for delivery This option is available for anybody with in the U.S."
Now I don't know about you but I sure wouldn't want to wait 4 to 6 weeks for a check!(remember 1st reason)? Every site that I reviewed so far offers you First Class Mail and the company pays for the extra postage! Sending you mail by 1st class takes usually 7 to 10 days!

(3rd) Reason is..This site offers you a second option for payment! This option is payment through Paypal, and (here comes the part the really surprises me) "where a ($25) Expedited Service Charge is applied and taken directly from your A.W.Surveys account with us.!
So after you reach minimum payment of $75.00, you loss $25.00 before you even see your money!

Now if this site sound good to you and you still want to sign up for it, just remember that you were warned!

Mobile Internet Pricing

Its finally official Globe Telecom are offering 5php/15 minutes in internet browsing through the consumers mobile phone unlike before its like Php0.15/kilobyte charge which is pricey. Globe is totally competing with Smart. For internet browsing, Smart Telecom charges P10/30 mins, which is proportional to Globe's new P5/15 mins rate.

***I hope this is a wake up call for Smart Telecom since almost everything in comes of landline and internet providers are really offering low low prices nowadays . I hope they will lessen their Smartbro monthly rates and of course their pricey Smartbro wireless internet which is way to costly for the general public.

Get Paid to ----


Honest Bux -
As I was browsing the internet I came across with some paid to click website and its a not a scam. The pay rate per click is 1 cent and the minimum pay out is 10usd. What's cool about this is they pay through paypal and the best part is you actually get 10 ads per day so make sure you'll log in everyday. So 1 cent x 10ads = 10cents x 30days = 3USD per month. Not bad for earning an extra cash, plus you will also earn through referral their referral program.

Check here if you're interested.

My Lot -
I never thought that one can earn through joining a forum, its more likely like a yahoo group where you can start a topic or reply to a topic that interests you.

What's wrong with my google adsense?


Paging Google!

It's been a while now since my adsense start disappearing from my blog. I don't know what seems to be the problem lately and I contacted their support group already. I hope I will receive a reply from them soon.

Also I requested my pin for the second time and then again I haven't got any. Its been a month now since I requested my second pin request and its not here yet. A friend told me that she got an email notification from google that her pin request is on its way and after 3weeks she got it already. Darn.. How come I don't have that kind of email from them?.. Hmmm..

Does somebody experience this already? Please let me know what to do.. Thanks.

incomplete

never say that someone completes you.

we have to feel whole when we are by ourselves., for needing a certain someone is not love but dependency.

wanting a person to become a part of your life is the best reason for having them, and you can only want when you know you have enough.

so rather than search for that someone who will complete you,
wait for the person who will compliment you completeness

How to earn online: PAYPERPOST

While I was browsing the internet one night I came across a blog about blog ethics. At first I didn’t knew what payperpost means so my interests grew and I did my research about payperpost then I realize that payperpost simply means that you’ll get paid whenever you post something in your blog. Then I register thinking that I will earn while I write what I want and my opinions towards some certain products, sort of a product review. That’s what I love the most about blog ethics. I was thinking that it wasn’t that bad at all since I’ve got a blog might as well earn from it right? People got actually paid through this and some of them are earning thousands of dollars. Cool isn’t it? The good part is they pay in dollars and through paypal that’s a plus. Now, I am thinking what to do about the money that I will earn from them. Maybe, I’ll buy some cool stuff like clothes, shoes, accessories and the like. Some of it will go to my NCLEX review. Having this kind of earning makes me feel independent somehow because I don’t have to ask my parents some cash for my necessity since I have some earnings from blog ethics.
If you love writing you might as well register at blog ethics so you can earn some bucks like me.

Cooking School

When I was younger I did aspire to be a chef. For the main reason that I love food and I’ve got a passion in cooking but cooking has no passion on me. LOL! That’s why I searched for a culinary school to guide me on the techniques so I know the basics and the know how in cooking, baking and cake decorating. As we all know culinary schools can open big windows of opportunities for us like we can open our own restaurant, a diner or just serve our family a delicious food everyday. As I notice it a chef school is much better than cookbooks because it’s more interactive and you get to mingle with people and the professional will teach you hands on about tips and tricks in making the food preparation. That’s what I love the most.

Sexcapades - Vibrating Condoms

This post is for ADULTS only!

One sunny afternoon and got nothing to do, me and my friend decided to go to the mall for a stroll. Then we decided to drop by into a drugstore and look for some things to buy like make up, soaps and other stuffs unexpectedly I've seen something that really caught my attention it was a condom corner. Yeah, the first time I saw a condom corner :P well, since there are a few people inside the store I decided to check out what they have to offer and found myself somehow shock while smiling shyly at my friend and said "Looked, what I found?!.. A vibrating condom I said." We giggled coily and somewhat intrigued about that kinky stuff. I mean how are we going to use that in the first place? Is there any sizes available? That's the first few questions that comes to my mind. Hmmn.. Then we left the counter, giggling.

Heck, we didn't buy the stuff because we don't have special someone to use it with anyways. Hahahaha. LOL! I'll just wish if the right someone comes along that will still be available in their shelves. Ahahaha!

Get paid to blog

I never thought that people can really get paid for blogging. I was quite optimistic at first but heck I should give it a try since I’ve heard some good feedbacks about some sites that really offer good lump some of money and through some pro bloggers that are get paid to blog and earning in dollars. It wasn’t my intentions to blog for money and as I said before it doesn’t hurt to earn some cash while writing about some things that you are passionate about as for me its writing my rants and giving information and that’s the main reason why I blog in the first place. And the good part of it all is you can write your own opinion about some products and there's no obligation to buy some stuff plus you’re getting paid for it. All you have to do is write a good product review and voila cash for you. But blogging for money entails hard work, perseverance and creative writing as well. It’s not easy but it is possible. All you need is passion and the rest will follow. Second thing you should consider is how to have lots of traffic meaning visitors and that will drive your blogsite sky high if you have these then there’s a higher chance that you will be hired by advertisers to write about their products and services, some are paying you so they can advertise on blogs and that’s equivalent to cash.

Happy ending isn't it? Have fun blogging.

How can I protect my username and password?

Anytime you're preparing to sign into your Blogger account, whether it's to modify your blog or to make a comment on someone else's blog, do not sign in if you're at all unsure about the link that sent you to Blogger. Unfortunately, there are individuals who may attempt to obtain your login information by distributing links to fake or "spoofed" versions of the Blogger homepage or comment pages. These versions of Blogger's pages are not authorized by Blogger, but will try to appear as authentic as possible.

Always check your browser's address bar to make sure the proper URL is displayed. If it doesn't start with "http://www.blogger.com/", do not enter your username or password. Close your browser immediately, as an imitation or "spoofed" Blogger page may try to initiate an unsolicited download that could harm your computer.

The safest way to enter Blogger is to type the URL to Blogger (http://www.blogger.com) in your browser's address bar directly. Typing the correct URL is the best way to be sure that you're not redirected to a spoofed site.

Please be safe with your login information!

Free Wi-Fi hot spots in Manila

What is a Wi-fi?

It is a wireless technology brand owned by the Wi-Fi Alliance, promotes standards with the aim of improving the interoperability of wireless local area network products based on the IEEE 802.11 standards. Common applications for Wi-Fi include internet and VoIP phone access, gaming and network connecttivity for consumer such as tv, DVD players and digital cameras.

Theres no such thing as free nowadays- wifi in coffeeshops like starbucks, seattles best, ucc, or in any hot spots are not for free- u have to purchase a card in order to connect- you can connect to the network but in order to access the internet, you have to open a browser and type the username and password written on the wifi card- its Php 100 for an hour.

To configure wifi on laptops- if your laptop has an internal wireless card,u can just open it up and it will automatically search for a wireless network- the only way u can connect to wireless networks for free is if your neighbor/company has a router that does not have a WEP key.

To access free wifi, either you must have a wifi-ready laptop, or a laptop with a wifi usb dongle or a laptop with a pcmcia wifi card. then you're ready to go. either way, your laptop will automatically detect the networks available or you have to search for it, manually.

no need to configure since it's a matter of choosing the network and connecting to it.

once you're in the area where wifi signal can be seen, surf away.

There are a lot of wifi free areas. it's just a matter of location. if you're the type of person who frequents the famous coffee shops, you really have to pay -- either its an airborne access or a globewiz. good thing blast prepaid card through airborne access offers wifi for 100 an hour -- quite expensive though.

My #1 Female Surgeon

Yesterday, I went to the Doctor to have a routine check up. I was anxious of course about the result of the exams and what the Doctor will say about my condition if I have any. being an nurse I am afraid of putting myself in the Doctor's clinic for check ups and I hate medications. Yeah. I don't want to take medicines when I get sick. I stick to the water therapy myself. LOL! :D Anyhow as my anxiety level rises on my way to the clinic I kept telling myself if I will not consult her now it might aggravate further to some serious conditions (if there's any). Being in a state of paranoia that I might have this and that it's now time to put an end to my worries. So I just have to conquer my biggest fear and that's being face to face to a doctor for a check up. I know its funny but heck I am totally mortified whenever I feel something and I have to see a doctor. I just don't know why. hahaha.

And so I finally arrived at her clinic and my anxiety is escalating while waiting for my name to be called. Then after a couple of minutes of waiting I was finally there face to face with her, telling my concerns. She was such an adorable lady with a very vibrant and happy personality which eases my anxiety away. She's so nice and I felt homey and relaxed in her clinic. Her aura brings calmness to my weary thoughts and my soul. She has an adorable face with a jolly smile. She doesn't look toxic at all which is a great relief to me. And guess what I don't need surgery. That's a plus. All I have was a minor case only that's no need to be worry about. That's a great news. Ü

Well, my surgeons name is Doctora Sherry Lee
She has a clinic in Cardinal Santos in Greenhills Mon-Sat 10-12noon
and at Clinica Manila in SM Megamall Bldg B Wed and Friday 1-4pm

By the way her consultation fee is very cheap its just 500php.
I wrote about her because this is my way of thanking her.

Typical Job Interview Questions


Since I am looking for a job as a nurse and I am looking forward to my upcoming interviews err (hopefully soon) I kept on thinking about what the employers might ask me. Or what should I do to get the job that I always wanted. Or how will I impress the HRD.
Well, I guess preparation is the key. But what are the preparations? And how in the world will I prepare for that dreaded way. Tsk. tsk..tsk!

I looked at my closet to check if I've got a business attire. Friends says I should dress to impress. I hope a typical black slacks, white blouse, a black 3/4 blazer and a nice pointed black shoes will do. Arrgh. Those shoes are killing me! huhuhu.

Next thing my make up: I dunno how to put make up on. I don't even knew what colors matches my skin tone. And goodness I just have a lipstick, a peach blush and a shimmering eyeshadow. yikes!

Next the exams: Darn. I hope its a psychological type and not about nursing because I dis forget nursing stuffs that we studied before. It's been a while since I opened my books. It's been like almost 2 years. That's a while right? I hope there's stock knowledge left or I'll get stuck in my seats. haays!

Then the killer questions. Here are the typical interview questions that I studied. According to research this is what the interviewers are looking for.
Interviewer: Tell me about yourself.
You: Remember, this is a job interview, not a psychological or personal interview. The interviewer is interested in the information about you that relates to your qualifications for employment, such as education, work experiences and extracurricular activities.


Interviewer: What do you expect to be doing five years from now? Ten years from now?
You: The interviewer is looking for evidence of career goals and ambitions rather than minutely specific descriptions. The interviewer wants to see your thought process and the criteria that are important to you.


Interviewer: Why should I hire you?
You: Stress what you have to offer the employer, not how nice it would be to work there or what you want from the employer.


Interviewer: What are your ideas about salary?
You: Research salaries in your field before your interviews so that you know the current salary range for the type of position you are seeking.


Interviewer: Why do you want to work for our company/organization?
You: Not having an answer is a good way to get crossed off the candidate list, and is a common pet peeve of interviewers. Research the employer before your interview; attempt to find out about the organization's products, locations, clients, philosophy, goals, previous growth record and growth plans, how they value employees and customers, etc.





I hope I can survive this. Wish me luck you guys.

How do you handle stress/pressure?


A typical interview question, asked to get a sense of how you handle on-the-job stress, is "How do you handle pressure?" Examples of good responses include:

  • Stress is very important to me. With stress, I do the best possible job. The appropriate way to deal with stress is to make sure I have the correct balance between good stress and bad stress. I need good stress to stay motivated and productive.
  • I react to situations, rather than to stress. That way, the situation is handled and doesn't become stressful.
  • I actually work better under pressure and I've found that I enjoy working in a challenging environment.
  • From a personal perspective, I manage stress by visiting the gym every evening. It's a great stress reducer.
  • Prioritizing my responsibilities so I have a clear idea of what needs to be done when, has helped me effectively manage pressure on the job.
  • If the people I am managing are contributing to my stress level, I discuss options for better handling difficult situations with them.

It's a good idea to give examples of how you have handled stress to your interviewer. That way, they get a clear picture how well you can work in stressful situations.
