3. What did you dislike about the last company that you worked for?
How to Answer
Always put a positive spin on all of your answers. Don't get too detailed about the things that you didn't like. But do be honest and focus on one aspect of the company or the job that you didn't enjoy. Relatively neutral and relatable answers typically involve 'boring' tasks, such as administrative duties. Try not to mention any kind of task that would be unique and essential to your position, such as sewing or cutting cloth; taking issue with such tasks would indicate that, in the long term, you won't enjoy the job.
Answer Example
"I really didn't like the way that the administrative work was done because it was all on paper and it wasn't computerized. Instead of letting it bother me, I learned to get all of it done as soon as it came on my desk, so that way I can just focus on doing the things I did like for the rest of the time. It's like eating your veggies first so that you can get to the dessert faster."
