Question

Kevin Downey · Accepted Answer

"I'm a big gamer. I especially spend a lot of time on Fortnite. My uncle taught me early on the value of having good sportsmanship. So, I earned the moniker, The Saint. I don't get caught up in the negative aspects of that culture. One of the things I love about it is connecting with people from different cultures around the world. It also helps me stay connected with my cousins, who live far away."

This question aims to get you out of interview mode and to relax. It will contrast your more professional interview performance and determine when you are more truthful and open versus more guarded and reserved. It will also help the hiring authority evaluate how well your personality will potentially fit into their team. The less guarded you are about your personal life, the more it shows you'll be able to foster interpersonal work relationships. Feel free to share anything you feel makes you interesting or memorable. Find relatable points of common interest.

"I love doing pilates and that's a stress buster for me too, so whenever I have some free time, I like to get on my reformer and do some workouts. My husband loves working out too like running on the treadmill or lifting weights, so for us, it's like doing things we love and we can spend time with each other as well as chatting while working out."
