"That's an interesting question. I think I have to be in the moment at all times and find that emotional balance around the clock. If a person isn't consistently balanced, I don't think they can find a balance under extreme circumstances, either at work or at home. Like that old metaphor, when you are on the rim of the wheel, you'll go up, and then you'll go down, but when you are centered in the hub of the wheel, you are in the immovable spot."

"I'll admit it can be tricky. But I think it's important to have an escape. I am an avid travel addict, but if I don't have time to see the destination, I'll read a good book or enjoy the hotel jacuzzi. I'll always find a way to decompress and enjoy myself."

Employees with a work-life balance will be able to perform well professionally over the long term of their careers. The interviewer is ascertaining your natural ability to balance these two spheres. This is a poignant question. When your work is to travel, frequently being away from home, sometimes for long periods, you might find yourself in a situation with no separation between work and personal life. According to those who've gone through similar shifts, this demanding routine can be exhausting. The trick to this question is to show how you strike harmony and balance when stepping away from the stresses of work.
