How resilient are you?

摘要

You have an amazing job that brings respect and admiration the world over. However, that job is also one of the most stressful jobs on the planet. It can be tough at times and challenging in ways that most of us cannot even begin to imagine. The high profile challenges you face see you entering burning buildings to save life or responding to terrorist threats. You are often required to make decisions under serious time pressure, remain focussed on the task in hand while staying calm and in control of your emotions, at the same time providing support and reassurance for others. You need to be able to cope with uncertainty, often not knowing what you are going to face when you get a call. You need some seriously effective qualities and skills to work under those conditions.Your work is varied and not all of it involves life-threatening situations. You might be fighting a fire one day and visiting a school or doing a safety inspection the next, so having to adapt constantly to what the role demands and the people it brings you into contact with.
