2. If you never worked another day in your life, what would you be doing?
How to Answer
This question is exploring your motivations aside from your day to day work. It is a personal question; however, you should still keep your answer work-related if possible. Think to a time when you were not working or when you did not feel the pressure of a full-time career and income. What were you enjoying the most? Perhaps you would travel, volunteer, become a philanthropist, or follow a passion.

Answer Example
"I enjoy working and would never want to feel idle so for that reason if I never worked another day I would spend my time volunteering for a cause close to my heart such as children's cancer. I would arrange fundraisers and spend time at the local children's hospital."

Manager
"In my spare time, I enjoy research and do a lot of reading. If I never worked another day, I would start the project of putting my management knowledge together into a series of training manuals for new managers. I think my knowledge and experience could help a lot of people newer to their careers."

Marketing
"I have a true passion for social media. If I never worked another day, I would turn myself into a full-time social media blogger! These Instagram celebrities spend their days on photo shoots with chartered jets and designer clothes. I mean, how fun is that?"

Retail
"I just started my career so, that's a tough question to answer. I am just getting started! If I won the lottery, for instance, and did not have to worry about making an income, I would write a book and try to become a New York Times bestselling author. My first topic of choice would be the evolution of fashion trends and how they have impacted our culture."

Sales
"Sales is in my blood! If I did not need to work and spent my days focused solely on an interest of mine, it would still be sales related. Perhaps I would start a charity or gather donations from businesses to take with me to impoverished countries. Whatever I chose to do I know it would still require my stellar negotiation skills."

Teacher
"I genuinely enjoy being a teacher because I get to help mold our future! If I never had to work a day in my life and didn't need to earn an income, I would get into politics. This focus would be an excellent way for me to influence much-needed change for the public school system."
