Hi Eddy!

Your answer is great because it clearly describes your experience and how you handled the pressure. You did a good job explaining what caused your stress and how you worked through it. I can see that you are a hardworking and responsible person!

To make your response even better, consider adding more details:

How did you feel during that time? You mentioned feeling "burned out," but what were the specific signs? Were you physically exhausted, mentally drained, or both?

What helped you manage the stress? Besides talking to your manager, did you try any personal strategies, like taking breaks, exercising, or getting support from coworkers or family?

What did you learn from this experience? Now that you have been through this, do you approach work differently to avoid burnout?

You're doing a great job expressing your thoughts! Keep practicing, and you'll continue improving your writing.
