Working as an MSL can be a stressful job, and the interviewer wants to see that you can find a work/life balance and have a way to stay healthy. The interviewer asks this personal question to learn more about your interests, hobbies, and personality. They also want to see that you take time for yourself with activities outside of work and know how to decompress from the job stressors.

Prior to your MSL interview, put some thought into how to answer the question that comes up about yourself and your personal life. Keep your activities positive and don't hesitate to give some insight into your family life and any unique things about you that shows you would be a great fit with the team you are interviewing with.

"In my free time, I enjoy being outdoors as much as possible. Working inside most of the time makes me want to be in nature, enjoying the sun and fresh air. My favorite activities are playing tennis, riding my mountain bike, and trail running. I am fortunate to live in a community with public tennis courts and trails right out my back door."
