How do you keep focused during long, or overnight shifts?

As a security professional, you may face a variety of shifts, including doubles, evenings, or quieter times. It can be tempting to let your mind focus away from the job. Talk to the interviewer about the ways that you keep yourself focused on your essential tasks staying top of mind. Maybe you keep checklists of everything that you need to accomplish, and another list of the things you can do when there is downtime. Express how you are a trustworthy and hardworking employee.

"I am experienced in the security industry and understand that it can be easy to get lost in thought or even nod off during quiet times or long shifts. I make sure to arrive at work well-rested and with a plan. I will have a list of activities that I need to get through and then some projects that I can tackle in my downtime. I am dedicated to my work and am sure to optimize my time, no matter the shift."
