You do not need to describe every hour of your workday; just highlight the main points. Avoid spending too much time on the answer or saying that you eat breakfast and drink coffee during the first half-hour of your shift, which shows a lack of enthusiasm and misuse of company time.

"At my previous job, an average day started with a daily meeting with my supervisor first thing in the morning, where I would be assigned tasks for the day. I would go out and perform inspections to ensure they met code and verify the level, alignment, and elevation of structures to determine if they met specifications. I would issue violation notices and stop-work orders when needed until the building complies with local codes. During my inspections, I take photographs and document all of my findings in my report. I make sure all reports and daily logs are completed before the end of the workday so nothing carries over to the next day."
