In looking to hire a happy and focused Compensation Manager to lead your team, your interviewer ideally wants to hear that you are able to balance your work and personal lives in the healthiest of ways. Staff burnout has become all too common in the 21st century, so talk about ways that you refresh yourself outside of work and don't hesitate to talk about your hobbies, interests and family life outside of work. In the end, talk about the importance of coming to work stress free and ready to lead the compensation team at this organization into the future.

"I have always been a full throttle person that works hard and plays hard, and this balance keeps my mind in the right place at all times. I've certainly been exposed the stresses of a hard work day as a Compensation Manager, but I'm able to handle those days with ease because I don't take that stress home with me. In my free time, I am a family first person. My family enjoys many different recreational activities. We spend countless hours on the water and hiking and biking trails all around the state. My kids are also very active participants in sports and we travel many weekends with them."
