Understand the importance of critical thinking

The interviewer asks:
  “Tell me about a situation where you handled pressure.”

Inside your head, two voices start arguing:

You walk into an interview looking confident...

 Brain Option 1: ”SAY ANYTHING FAST! Even ‘I love pressure’ will work!”
Brain Option 2: “NO PLEASE… think first… don’t destroy this interview ”

For a moment, panic kicks in… you almost speak instantly
Suddenly… your brain goes into loading mode 

Brain  1: “WHY ARE WE SILENT?!”

 Brain 2: “Relax… think, then speak.”

“Processing… Please wait .

Then you finally speak… calmly… clearly… like nothing happened

The interviewer nods: “Good answer.”

 they are about how you handle that moment before the answer.
