To me success is accomplishing each day’s work on time and on
target so that the goals ofthe company can be met. Of course, the
monetary rewardsfor a job well done are also iniyortant so that I
can meet my jnancial obligations.

How do you spend your leisure time?

The employer may be trying to determine whether you are an
active person, i.e., likes to camp and hike; a sedentary person,
i.e., watch baseball; a joiner, i.e., active in your community’s
neighborhood watch; or a volunteer, i.e., involved in a food
kitchen for indigent persons. Determine what you lu-tow about
the company and the interviewer. Select from among your
interests those you believe best fit the job or the corporate

image. Be careful not to mention too many interests though -
you must have energy left to do the job!

I really enjoy camping out and hiking when weather permits. It
gives me n chance to clear my head of the problems of the work
week. Ijnd I return to work on Monday with a clear head and
renewed energy.

and the Middle East. I believe this company has an excellent

to opening these markets.
