Your interviewer would like to know what keeps you busy outside of the workplace to get to know you better while gauging your fit with the team. The interviewer knows that having hobbies and interests outside of work helps reduce stress and is essential to maintaining a healthy work/life balance.

"I have a variety of hobbies that keep me busy outside of work hours. First, I have two children who are involved in basketball and gymnastics. I also play in a baseball league, I volunteer at our community church, and I like to read fiction novels."

Talk to the interviewer about the activities that interest you outside the workplace. Don't hesitate to talk about some unique interests that you have while avoiding activities that may be controversial to someone. Some suitable activities to share include exercising, creating art, gardening, spending time with family, reading, cooking, listening to music, volunteering, or any other hobbies you enjoy.

"In my free time, I enjoy activities that keep me in shape. My favorite activities are riding dirt bikes, trail running, and rock climbing. When the weather is bad, and I cannot do those activities, I enjoy working on projects around my house, cooking, and reading true-crime novels."

I have two tween-age kids that keep me busy most of the time, they're almost grown out of the age where parents are cool so I try to spend time with them in this sweet spot. I also like exercises like boot camp-style workouts and walking (I used to run), and I am currently working through my MBA coursework and a certificate for Python and SQL.
