"I do everything I can to reduce my stress levels in my personal or professional life. I am organized with my time and always arrive at work early. I listen to music, go to the gym, and manage my time well. I prioritize my time and take care of my needs proactively, promptly, and appropriately."

"I strike a balance by establishing boundaries between those two spheres. I first establish a balance with my time. As soon as I head home at the end of a workday, I fill up my gas tank. It is always full. Then I take care of any errands that need to be done proactively. Then I'll go home and take care of everything I need to do the following morning, from making the following morning's coffee to packing a lunch to setting out my clothes. Once I know I've managed my time, I'll do whatever I need to do to reach a mind-body-spirit balance. This includes going to the gym, reading, or preparing my meals for the week to ensure I am eating right. I also dedicate the time appropriate to my relationships and household chores. This way, my personal life doesn't bleed over into my professional life, and vice versa."

Anytime a company asks how you maintain a work-life balance, they want to know how likely you are to burn out on the job. So this question offers you an opportunity to assure them that not only do you establish boundaries where your personal life or personal issues aren't likely to interfere with your performance of professional conduct. Describe how organized you are while displaying your strong time management skills on and off the job to establish a balance. This will ensure you run on time or ahead of schedule, rarely need to take your work home with you, can cross everything off your list, and experience less stress.

Here are the value propositions Wells Fargo presents where they share how they are willing to contribute to your work-life balance. "FLEXIBILITY: You deserve the flexibility to live a balanced life! If recent years taught us anything, it's that flexibility is everything. You're more adept than ever at balancing life's competing priorities while adapting to fluid working conditions. You're not about to sign on with a company that insists on an outmoded, rigid work/life approach. A hybrid schedule is available with many of our corporate positions, giving you the flexibility to work from home on some days and at the office on others. For banking positions requiring you to work onsite, you'll enjoy time off and benefits that support balancing work and life."

When words and statements are incongruent with your tone, facial expressions, or mannerisms, it is commonly considered an indication of limited emotional intelligence or burnout syndrome. It suggests a lack of self-awareness of one's nonverbal cues as inconsistent with your narrative. Therefore, HireVue's algorithm will try to interpret your true feelings, intentions, and attitudes over the words you choose. So you want to ensure you're consistent throughout your interview.
