17. What do you like most about your current position?
How to Answer
This is a sneaky way to ask why you are actually leaving your current position. This will tell an interviewer a lot about you on the front end. It will allow him to compare and contrast your previous position with the one for which you're interviewing and use that to judge whether you'll be a good fit or not. In answering the question, do say what you like about the position you're leaving, but don't ever badmouth your current position to justify what you like least. That tends to make one think that you may be the problem, not the position you're leaving.

Experienced Example
"I have always enjoyed teaching in my chosen specialty. I did it as a senior resident, and although I like my current position for the integrity and reputation of the organization, I want a phase of practice that allows me to teach again. I feel my special interests in certain aspects of anesthesiology will allow me to share my passion for things I've come to master in my current position, but which are at a standstill because of the limited variety and breadth and depth of practice."
