How to Use

Interviewer: Would you work more than 40 hours a week if necessary?

Sharon: Yes, I would. I would do whatever I had to do to be successful here. I know that in this industry, workers often have to work long hours. I have no problem doing that.

Interviewer: How many hours a week did you typically work at your last job?

Sharon: I normally worked around 60 hours a week. I tried to work enough that I could do all of my tasks well, but I didn't work so much that I became burned out or suffered health problems. So, I tried to find a good work-life balance and for me, that balance was at about 60 hours a week.

Interviewer: I completely understand. Most of the people at our company work about 50 to 60 hours a week. So, I guess you would have no problem adjusting to that.

Sharon: Not at all.
