Before accepting any job offer, you need to know what an average day will look like for you in this position. Of course, you will be aware of the general responsibilities involved in this role, but this particular question asks the interviewer to dig a bit deeper.

Here are some of the things you will want to find out:

- Who will be working closest to you
- Who you will be reporting to
- What types of clients you will be meeting
- What your deadlines will be
- Which software systems are used in this job
- What your office will look like

Be sure, before accepting any offer, that you can honestly picture yourself in this role. If you are not 100% convinced, that's okay! Try asking for a half-day job-shadow to gain a better understanding of the day-to-day activities.
