Question 3 of 30

How do you spend your free time?

"I like to listen to music and establish harmony. Whether that means cleaning my house, spending time with my spouse and my kids, getting to that project I've been meaning to prioritize, or doing nothing but listening to music and centering myself. I just like to relax, take things at my own pace, and keep everything harmonious. Music helps me do that and helps make it fun and something to be looked forward to."

      Why the Interviewer Asks This Question

      This question is an icebreaker to get you out of interview mode. Asking a more informal question will more likely result in a sincere answer. This could reveal a lot about you, from how professional you are to how strategic your answer is, which could inform them of how well you would build relationships with RSM's clients. So try to make yourself relatable while maintaining a certain degree of professionalism. Remember, they will only consider hiring those who would uphold RSM's reputation.

What do you truly enjoy doing, and what are you like at your best? What achievements are you most proud of, and how did you achieve these? What activities (inside and outside of a professional environment) stay on your to-do list for a long time? What is it about these activities that you do not enjoy?"
