How do you like to spend your free time?
Working as a Fraud Investigator can be a stressful job. The interviewer asks this question to ensure you take time to yourself and have healthy ways to decompress from the job stressors. Your response also gives the interviewer insight into your personality to determine if you will be a good fit for the team.
The interviewer wants to see that you have a variety of hobbies and interests. Focus on three or four activities that you enjoy doing in your free time. Perhaps you enjoy spending time with family and friends, exercising, reading, or playing a musical instrument.
Avoid saying you never have free time because you work too much. While it is commendable that you are a dedicated employee, the interviewer will think you could burn out quickly or become sick if you do not take time for yourself.
"I like to spend my free time exercising, gardening, and cooking. I enjoy being outdoors with my family, riding bikes, and playing beach volleyball. I also enjoy growing my own fruits and vegetables and trying new recipes from my garden. These activities help relieve stress and energize me for my next shift."
