What do you do in your free time?
This question is a bit similar to 'Tell me about yourself.' Share a few things that are relevant to the job and give the interviewer insight into your personality. Since you'll be working with people, talking about spending time with friends would be a good thing to share. You can mention hobbies that require attention to detail, like reading and writing. You can talk about sports that require perseverance or goal setting, like distance running. Be yourself! Maybe consider sharing something that makes you unique so you will stand out above other candidates.
"To best keep myself refreshed outside of work, my children's lives are my life, and we travel to baseball, softball, hockey, and dance competitions every weekend that we can. On top of them, our family likes to spend as much time as possible with our close friends grilling, camping, and cooking together."
"I volunteer at a homeless shelter in my free time. I like to give back to my community through volunteer work. On top of that, I have two dogs that occupy most of my free time while at home."
"Outside work, I spend as much time as I can outdoors. I am an avid hunter and fisherman and spend as many days in the woods or waters as I can with family and friends. I also try to stay physically active by training for 10k races and weight training as well."
Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.
