The interviewer wants to hear what you like the least about working as a construction manager to ensure you have the qualities they are looking for in a candidate. Describe what you like least, then explain how you work around that aspect of the job. You want to end on a positive note, showing that what you dislike will not keep you from performing your job.

You want to avoid responding with something that could be a deal-breaker for the interviewer. For example, if you say you do not like working with people, you will not be considered for the position since construction management is a people-oriented profession.

"What I like least about working as a construction manager is working in humid conditions. I can handle the heat just fine, but it makes it more challenging when you add humidity. Over the years, I have found I am starting to acclimate to the humidity, but it is still not enjoyable. I make sure to drink plenty of fluids, wear breathable clothing, and take breaks where there is air conditioning."
