In support of the book, Winning Answers to 500 Interview Questions:
Do you prefer Structured or unstructured activities?
Why this question is being asked: To learn what type of Environment suits you best and if the structure of the company aligns with your working style.
Strategy: Consider the type of environment for which you are interviewing and whether that environment would seem to have a preference for structured or unstructured activities. If you are unsure, hedge your bets and prove why you can work in either environment.
Sample answer: I have worked in both structured and unstructured environments. As long as I have an objective and good people to work with, it can be a great experience. If I had to choose one, a structure, even a loose one, is always helpful for getting things done.
