17. What did you like and dislike about your previous job?
How to Answer
Most of us have something that we dislike about our job, and that's fine as long as we're willing to get the job done with a positive attitude. Pick something that you disliked about your past job that is not relevant to the role you're applying for. For example, if you worked at an internet cafe before, you might state that you were continually frustrated by the inconsistency in income especially when there were slow days in the shop. Despite that, share how you still kept a positive attitude at work and at the end of the day, you knew it was only a matter of time until you could move on to a better role. Reassuring the interviewer that you never let dislike get the best of you is key to landing the job! Interviewers enjoy hearing that you maintain a positive outlook despite difficult situations and that you'll get the job done despite there being areas that you do not enjoy.
