What do you like to do in your free time?

You want to avoid answering that you never have free time because you work so much. While being a workaholic may seem like a good attribute, if you do not allow yourself some free time to destress, you may burn out quite quickly and become a less productive employee. The interviewer wants to see that you have found an acceptable work/life balance.

"In my current job, I work 50 plus hours per week and do not have much free time. When I have a day off, I like to spend quality time with my husband and two children. We enjoy nature and love hiking, mountain bike rides, and canoeing on a lake close to our house. I find being in the fresh air with my family keeps me rejuvenated and ready to tackle another 50 hour week."

"In my free time, I enjoy working out, watching my niece's soccer games, and having barbecues with my extended family. I also enjoy playing the guitar and will usually play music for my family when we get together."
