Question 4 of 10

Walk me through your average day when working from home.

"Each morning, I log into my work system 15 minutes early, allowing me to boot up my computer and get settled before most of the team arrives for our virtual morning huddle. We have our morning meeting first, and then I get to my tasks. My routine includes checking my voicemail and email and then looking at my priorities list for the day. My primary duties as a virtual project manager include updating task lists and nudging team members for updates. I also make changes to schedule deliverables in real-time. I check in with my leaders at least twice a day with updates on any hiccups or communication challenges. I have a 24-hour response philosophy meaning that I never allow anyone to wait more than a day for a response. For that reason, before logging off, I double-check that I have returned all voicemails and emails. My days are well-structured, but I do have my cell phone on so that if any work emergencies arise after my typical 8-5, I can quickly make myself available to assist."

      How to Answer

      The interviewer wants to be able to visualize you performing your day-to-day tasks. They want to understand the methods and systems that you have in place to ensure success and productivity. Take the interviewer through a high-level overview of your daily activities. Keep your answer clear and provide enough detail to allow the hiring authority to picture you doing their job with ease!

      Many interviewees hear an open-ended question like this and begin providing an hourly breakdown of their day. Instead, take a few of your essential tasks and discuss your approach. Avoid offering too many details, such as what you typically do for breakfast. Keep your details entirely work-related.
