How to Answer

Entry Level
"I have felt dissatisfied on the job when I feel underpaid and overworked. I don't mind working hard at all, but I don't like to feel as though I'm being taken advantage of."
Answer Example
"I can feel dissatisfaction with the job when I am not feeling heard or when there is not mutual respect among the team members. I work best in more harmonious situations where there is little drama or gossip."
Experienced
"I feel dissatisfied when I work hard but constantly hit roadblocks, such as policy changes in the teaching industry. Obstacles happen, but when you can't get anywhere because there are so many of them, it is frustrating. I overcome this by creating alternate scenarios and preparing new ways to get around red tape and policy."
