So with that being said, Let's get started!

Part I

1. HOW DID YOUR Team COMMUNICATE while working remotely?

Here you can describe ways in which you collaborate with your team.
Give examples of how you have kept in touch and the importance of regular reporting.
The recruiter is more interested in hearing how well you take ownership of your action items.

2. WHAT DID YOU DO WHEN YOU WERE LAID OFF

Here the recruiter is interested to know how you will handle work stress or are you afraid of losing your job?
If you did lose one in past then leverage it to demonstrate your progress and your newly learned skills.
Showcase how you helped others during the crisis.
you know it's really ok, to be honest about getting laid off and recruiters will surely understand.

3. How do you feel about an eventual return to work?

Here the recruiter wants to know, that are you prepared to adapt to changes.
You can be honest here but back your statement with relevant info and examples.

4. How do you maintain a work-life balance:

If you have pre-covid work from home experience, leverage it.
They observe how candidates react to their experience when they faced hardships or setbacks. Give them an example of how you have set virtual boundaries and you do not let your work get affected.
Of course, you are human, but what matters is, you are trying and they want to see your efforts.
You can use examples like, what do you do to increase your productivity.

5. WHAT DO YOU DO DIFFERENTLY NOW?

You can explain how you utilize the time saved in traveling. For me, personally, I started my YouTube channel and started writing technical articles.
The recruiter wants to know that what would you do differently to not let work from home affect your deadlines or commitment to work.
so in your own words, just explain what do u do differently now

BONUS Question:

What aspects of working from home did you find most challenging?

Use this question as an opportunity to showcase how you handled Covid stress, stayed connected with your family, supported your colleagues, and outshined at work.
Hardships come and go, but you need to stay strong.

Part II
