Most people have had a job that they don't particularly love. Think about your least favorite job and break down for the interviewer what made it so tiresome.
Perhaps the responsibilities were mundane or the co-workers were unfriendly. Discuss with the interviewer what made the job so difficult, and what you did to make it better for yourself. The interviewer wants to see that you are proactive in situations like this rather than just giving up and quitting.

"Many years ago, I worked as a waitress at a local sports bar. I liked the job because of the customers, but I didn't feel appreciated by my boss. It was discouraging because he was so negative, even during the busiest and most challenging shifts. I did my best and worked hard, but moved on when I had the opportunity. I learned that having a boss who is encouraging and motivating can make such a world of difference!"
