This may feel like a casual question; however, it serves several purposes. It can reveal how well you balance your personal life with your professional life, offering insights into whether you are likely to burn out on the job or bring your personal problems to work. It could also potentially reveal how committed you are to your profession. For example, if you have expressed throughout your interview that you are committed to your career and then share that you are taking night classes at a school for massage therapy, then you've essentially informed your interviewer that you may not see much of a future at Aon. This happens more commonly than one would think, and your interviewer needs to take everything into consideration when trying to hire the right person for the job.

When answering this question, you should try to make yourself unique and relatable at the same time. The more memorable you are as a candidate, the more likely you'll land another interviewer. Even if you are very career oriented and dedicated to your professional pursuits, share something outside your career that shows you have other interests and prioritize your emotional well-being through your activities.

"I always have a project going on. I just finished building my garden and enjoy tending to my raised garden beds. I also love going for long bike rides and long walks. Aside from that, I spend a fair amount of time reading."
