"I am an avid trail runner. I love hiking and fishing, but trail running is where it's at for me. When I'm not trail running, I am on the treadmill watching adventure or survival documentaries. It is all about the great outdoors for me."

This seemingly informal question aims to get you to lower your guard and show the real you. How you answer could inform them of how balanced your life is and whether you consider your well-being a priority. That is something Prudential advertises across their site; how they prioritize the balance of their employees and the incentives they offer to "help you achieve and maintain your health and financial wellness goals, from health and life coaching to gym memberships... to support your overall well-being."

Before the interview, research the body language of a confident and relaxed person in a seated position. Pump yourself up with physical exercise to manifest confidence. Go into a private space with a mirror, look yourself in the eye, and give yourself a pep talk. Raise your arms, stretch your back, and make yourself as big as possible. Then practice your answers in front of the camera and record your voice to cast away any insecurity, nervousness, or self-doubt.

Remain on point and professional throughout the entire interview. While it is important for them to like you and get a glimpse of your personality, you should filter your responses. Considering that this question is likely testing how balanced you are and whether you prioritize your well-being, telling them how you like to go out drinking with your friends every night or binge on ice cream and cheese crisps while watching tv on the couch won't score you points.
