QUESTION 26 OF 40

How do you balance life and work?

Keeping a healthy work/life balance prevents burnout. To properly illustrate how you effectively manage your work/life balance, explore the other ways you excel in this area. For example, effective time management is one method of ensuring you have a work/life balance. Preparing everything for your week in advance can make your mornings before work effortless and thwart easily avoided stress. This gives you sufficient time to get to work early and eliminates unnecessary distractions from your productivity. Talk to the interviewer about how you can maintain that appropriate balance for yourself.

"I find that, with the right company, it's pretty simple to balance life and work. When I enjoy what I do, it doesn't feel like a chore. I am always sure that when at home, my family gets my attention first. I take time on the weekends to do things for myself and ensure that I regenerate before the work week begins."

"The perfect balance of work and life is difficult to achieve 100% of the time; however, I feel that to achieve a satisfactory balance, one must have hobbies outside of the workplace that they find fulfilling. These don't have to take up a lot of time, but they should help to energize you. I like to go mountain biking on the weekends."
