Focus on being positive in your response. Even though the interviewer wants to hear what you like least about your current job, they do not want to listen to you bad-mouth your coworkers, clients, or management. Highlight the opportunities offered by the company you are interviewing with. For example, you may not like your current job because there is no opportunity for growth or it is a part-time position. In that case, point out that this agency offers opportunities for professional development or a full-time schedule.

Avoid talking poorly about your supervisor, colleagues, or clients. Even if they are what you like the least about your current job, the interviewer will feel as if you are a challenging person to work with. Instead, describe another aspect of your current job you like the least, such as the lack of opportunity for professional growth or the high caseload because the agency was short-staffed.

"What I like least about my current job is the lack of opportunity for professional development. I am one year away from obtaining my Doctoral Degree in Social Work, and there is no room for me to grow with my current employer. I like that your agency encourages professional growth and offers opportunities to advance within."
