A willingness to work overtime hours or take work home with you can advertise you are a team player. For others, it might a reveal poor time management skills, and having a poor work/life balance. Talk to the interviewer about your time management skills, how you balance your personal life with your work life, how you go about ensuring you meet deadlines, and your flexibility to go the extra mile when the needs of the team call for it.

"I make sure to utilize my work hours very efficiently so the only time that I take my work home is when there is an extremely stringent deadline. I would say that, overall, I take my work home maybe twice per month. It's all about being diligent with your time in the office!"

"I will take my work home with me anytime I feel that a deadline may be close. I would much rather work overtime hours than let a client down."

So does this mean that you do not take work home with you? If you are averse to taking work home, be sure to ask if this is an expectation. I feel this answer dances around the question a bit. I have offered an example, below.
"I make sure to utilize my work hours very efficiently, so this situation rarely arises in my current role. When there is a deadline, I am open to taking work home or staying overtime if needed. Are there expectations related to working overtime in this role?"

I make sure to utilize my work hours very efficiently, so I rarely found myself in this situation. If there are business needs requiring overtime or taking work home, I am open to it. How often does a claims associate take work home?
