This question might seem like it is meant to trick you, but the interviewer is really looking for what types of things interest you the most as well as your willingness to be honest. Try to think about what it is that you have liked the most about your former jobs and decide what category they fall into. Topics for your favorite part of your job might be hands-on work, flexible schedule, working as part of a team, ability to affect change as far as policies and procedures, you felt your ideas were listened to, etc. As far as your least favorite part of your former job, try not to be too specific. Don't mention a specific supervisor or coworker by name. Topics for your least favorite part of your job might include strict overtime policy or unable to voice ideas and suggestions for updating policies and procedures.

"At my last job, I really enjoyed working as part of a team. There were plenty of times that I worked by myself, and I was perfectly fine with that. But I also enjoyed interacting with others and troubleshooting technical issues that might arise. I always enjoyed learning from the experience of others. As far as the least favorite part of my former job, I'd have to say that I felt that supervisors and other managers were unwilling to listen to ideas and suggestions for improvement. Honestly, I didn't have a lot of ideas for improvement because we ran pretty smoothly, but every now and then I did see room for improvement, and I was disappointed that it felt like our ideas weren't being considered."
