Stress Question Sample Answer

"As a new employee in my first job, my supervisor asked me to prepare one thousand letters for direct mail. I was unsure about the order of the pages and my supervisor already left for a meeting. Afraid that I might put together everything in the wrong order, I managed to track down his cell phone number and called him on the way to the meeting. He then explained to me over the phone how to go about the task which prevented a mistake that would have lost the company precious time and money."
