Question 1 of 30

How do you handle working under very close supervision?

These days, many daycares have cameras set up so that parents can log in and watch their kids play while they are at work. Technology has made it so that, if they wanted, they could have all eyes on their children (and you!) at all times. The interviewer would like to know if you can handle working under such close supervision.
