      How to Answer

      Apple is known for offering a solid work/life balance for its employees. With that said, the majority of people in the workforce readily accept overtime hours or take work home with them on occasion. Talk to the interviewer about how frequently to take your work home. If you do take work home with you, make sure to express that it is due to overachieving and not procrastination or poor time management.

      "I try not to take my work home with me. Everyone needs downtime. However, if something needs to get done, I will get it done, even if it means staying past closing time with a client who needs help troubleshooting their device or getting a new one set up."

      "Ever since being self-employed, I have practiced flexible hours. Sometimes there is urgent work to do, something vital that a client needs. So I work extra hours to deliver. But that experience has also taught me the need for balance to maintain my energy levels and engagement. I need to exercise a few times a week, have quality time with my family, and have downtime reading a novel."
