How to Answer: What do you like to do in your free time?
Advice and answer examples written specifically for a Child Care job interview.
21. What do you like to do in your free time?
How to Answer
The interviewer is asking this question to get to know you better. Try to keep it light! Talk about sports or hobbies you enjoy. If you enjoy volunteering or spending time with kids outside of work, talk about those experiences. It's okay if your hobbies are not relevant to the job, but if you do have some fun activities you can relate to child care work, share them! Plan to share three activities you like to do in your free time so that the interviewer can learn more about you.
