QUESTION 12 OF 25

How often do you find yourself reading?

"I read every single day before I go to bed. I am an avid reader, and this practice also helps me to sleep better because it shuts my brain off from television and my phone."

"At this particular time, I am writing my first novel. The majority of reading that I do is related to research for my book. I am passionate about both reading, and writing."

Your potential employer is interested in knowing that you are passionate about reading. Here is your opportunity to shine and share your love of reading. If you are a writer, be sure to share that information with the interviewer.

"I try to read a significant novel each month. In between, I chip away at other special interest books. I like to be up to speed on current events, so often find myself doing further research after reading an article on a specific story."

Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.

Anonymous Answer

I try to read as often as I can. I read at least one book a month. It helps me relax and escape the world for a long period of time.

Rachelle's Feedback

Good response; however, you could build on it. Try to mention specifics on the genre you enjoy reading or the last book you read.

"I read every day if I can and complete at least one book per month. My favorite genre is mystery and thriller with the last book I finished being 'Guilt' by Amanda Robson."
