The interviewer asks this question to gain insight into your personality and interests and ensure you take time to destress from the pressures of the job. The interviewer also wants to hear about your outside interests to determine if you have similar hobbies as others on the team. When coworkers have similar interests, they typically work well with other team members. Describe three or four activities you enjoy doing in your free time.

Avoid describing activities or hobbies that might be offensive to the interviewer or give them cause for concern. For example, you might enjoy going to a political rally or marching as an activist on the weekends. However, if the interviewer has different political beliefs, they might think you would be a difficult employee to work around. It is best to describe physical activities you enjoy or activities that stimulate your mind, such as an art project or playing a musical instrument.

"In my free time, I enjoy being outside as much as possible. I enjoy riding my dirt bike, playing golf with my friends, barbecuing, and restoring old vehicles. I am also taking bass lessons as my grandfather played the stand-up bass and gave me one for my birthday, so I practice playing when I can."
