QUESTION 8 OF 39

How would you fill your time, if faced with downtime during your working day?

The interviewer wants to know that you are a dedicated employee who is capable of finding productive tasks, even during seasons or times when the workload isn't as intense.

A few ways that you can fill your time when volumes are low:

- Mentoring a junior employee
- Servicing equipment
- Offering to help a co-worker
- Studying safety manuals

Give an example of how you would fill potential downtime and be sure to highlight that you are a proactive and productive employee.

"I am a very proactive individual and certainly do not enjoy sitting around, waiting for work to be handed to me. If I were to experience downtime in the workplace I would take that time to mentor more junior employees or brush up my knowledge in workplace policy or safety."
