How important is work/life balance to you while seeking employment? How do you convey the need for this balance to employers?

For me work/life balance is very important. For me, it is vital to have sufficient downtime so that I can “recharge” enough to continue being productive. If I am working practically 24/7, I will get burned out, and, additionally, that kind of stress will affect my health; and we all know a sick worker is NOT a productive worker. So, I think that for companies that require round-the-clock service they should implement shifts, which would help staff to be able to have a normative (rather than unpredictable hours) workday (or work night), and allow for people to balance work and life.
