The interviewer needs to determine if you are an employee who can work without being micro-managed. Reassure the hiring manager that you can find something to do even when your normal duties are suspended. Be energetic about wanting to be a part of the team at Goodyear.

"I think that I would definitely want to make sure I used the time wisely. For example, I might clean my workspace or wipe down the machine and use the time for routine maintenance that I could do. If the line was down for a significant amount of time, I would ask my supervisor for anything they needed so that I can help other departments catch up."

"I am a person who likes to stay busy. I would spend the time assisting others or wiping down my area to keep things running well. Short of that, I wouldn't complain or whine about not having anything to do. I can find things to occupy the time."
