      Anonymous Answer

      "I have spent the better part of my career in at 6:15 am and leaving around 9 pm. So I feel like I am more than willing to devote whatever hours are necessary. I realize this is a 24/7 job at times. As club president, teacher, coach, I have students, coaches, referees texting and emailing and calling at all hours of the night b/c of problems that arise. Spending time is arguably the most important part of this job, and I will devote whatever time is needed to help us succeed."

      Rachelle's Feedback

      You sound incredibly dedicated to your work. If I were the interviewer, my next question would be, 'How do you avoid burnout?' so I recommend speaking a bit on this as well.
