How you answer this question will help Goldman Sachs determine how well balanced your personal and professional life is, or whether you are more of a one-dimensional finance professional who centers your entire life around your work. Having interests outside of work and allowing yourself time to recharge will ensure you are less likely to burn out on the job and thereby be a more sustainable employee. So take advantage of this opportunity to showcase something unique and relatable about yourself, which could spark conversation and make you a more memorable candidate.

Having hobbies and interests outside of work is incredibly helpful for maintaining your health and happiness. Talk about a passion or interest that you have. Although you should always be yourself, you also want to be relatable. Your answer should be memorable for the hiring managers who review your HireVue video submission.

"In my spare time, I love to bake. I have been taking baking lessons at our local culinary school every Saturday for the last six months and have learned some interesting baking techniques. My ultimate goal is to master the art of making macarons. When I make a new creation that I'm proud of, I will bring the treats to my family or work - a fun way to share my passion and knowledge with others."
