"How do you work under pressure?" We're all familiar with this question, usually the second or third one asked in a typical job interview. It's inescapable--there will be days (and nights, and probably weekends) when your job is stressful or demanding; this doesn't even take into the consideration the myriad ways in which it may be harming you physically. But you're going to have to deal with it one way or another, whether that's by de-stressing via dog or going nutso-ballistic and heaving your desk chair out the window. Although we personally don't advise the latter.

Whatever the case, AOL Jobs is here to help with the best advice from around the web on managing pressure. Give it a look, but don't dawdle--you're on a deadline!
