Maintaining a healthy work-life balance can be a significant challenge for employees. The interviewer wants to know that you can handle the often tricky balance associated with having an office inside of your home. It's a valid concern for employers when considering the introduction of a work-from-home role.

You want to show the interviewer that you work hard and are flexible with your time when needed, but you also want to avoid looking like a workaholic. Gone are the days where being a workaholic is a selling factor for employers. Most companies now agree that the workaholic mentality is an unhealthy practice that leads to burnout and high employee turnover.

Show that you are cooperative and willing to do what it takes to get the job done without putting yourself into an agreement that you will regret. When you respond, be true to yourself and answer in a way that you can commit to, should you be hired.
