Babar,
No response for my mail, yesterday, I had an interview, and they asked the same question, "How do you work under pressure". On 1/12/06, Babar Abbas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:Hello everyone! In the industry we work, we are consistently put under pressure, deadlines, on time delivery, without any queries, the managers are on us. I was wondering, that once, I used to worry about this a lot, which had its biological impacts, head aches, back leg muscles tension, working overnight.
What sort of pressure are you thinking of? For instance, some jobs require snap judgments (within a few seconds). In other cases people might have a deadline they have to meet in a few months. What is creating the pressure? Will I get fired unless I solve a problem, or can I simply look busy when the boss turns up and go back to sleep when he goes away? Do the people involved have any control over the pressure (I recall one study showing rats that were randomly given an electric shock developed more ulcers than those that had some control over when they were shocked)? What aspect of the psychology of programming are you interested in with regard to pressure (eg, quality of code of people under pressure vs. those not under pressure)? -- Derek M.
