Working as a Hospice Social Worker can be a stressful, emotional profession. The interviewer asks this question to gain insight into your personality and to see that you take time to decompress from your job. The interviewer wants to see that you have activities or hobbies that help you de-stress and stay mentally healthy to prevent burnout.

Focus on three or four activities or hobbies you enjoy doing in your free time. Explain how these activities keep you mentally healthy, help decrease your stress, and keep you focused for your next shift.

Avoid saying that you do not have free time because you always work. While it might seem commendable that you enjoy working a lot, the interviewer wants to hear that you take time to care for yourself. If you do not have ways to decompress from the job stressors, you may become ill and fatigued.

"In my free time, I like to be outdoors as much as possible. I enjoy taking my kids to the beach or a park, riding bicycles, and doing yoga. Those activities relieve stress and energize me for my next shift. I also like to read and crochet, which are great activities to calm my mind."
