What do you like least about your existing job?

There are always some good and bad things about any job.
We love doing things which we like and avoid things we do not like. The interviewer is trying to understand what we dislike and how will this impact the performance in new job.
If it is a critical skill that we don't like, then it is a big problem. Are their any routine things which don't add value but are necessary?
Be watchful before you answer.
Also tell how do you handle the things which you dislike.
Do's
• Figure out those activities which you do not like in your current job
• Explain the reasons for activities which you do not like

The interview is a game and practice can boost the performance

Taking time to think and writing an answer to the interview question will help you prepare the script. Writing a response sharpens your thought process and gives an opportunity to review the response and make improvement to the script. You don’t need to memorize the answer.

Thinking through, writing and reviewing the response to the interview questions increases preparedness, boosts the confidence and reduces anxiety. It builds up a repertoire of stories for easy retrieval and you can now focus on delivery during the actual interview. Your confidence spirals upwards with each answer and increases the chances of a better outcome.

Prepare well before the interview. Know the common interview questions. Learn the dos and don’ts. Write, practice and improve your specific response either by yourself or by feedback from a family member or a colleague or a teacher. You will gain mastery through practice.

As they say, if you want to be good at something, then you must practice to learn, and grow.
