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
• More important thing to explain is what you do about those things
• Show you complete this first, take support, learning a new technique to manage it well
Don'ts
•Job critical dislikes is a red flag. Be watchful

Deliberate practice improves our success in an interview

It is a deliberate effort. It requires one to break down the required skill into smaller chunks and practice systematically and repeatedly. Performance improves over time based on the number of times an activity is performed with timely and correct feedback. It is not just the number of hours of practice but quality matters. It is not mindless repetition but one needs to incorporate feedback to improve. Seeking feedback and reflecting on one’s performance to guide subsequent practice sessions improves the performance.

Deliberate practice based on small, achievable, specific steps for meaningful improvement. To gain mastery, you need to · - Start early - If you have decided to improve your interview skills performance, then it is important to start well before. It is not something which you can acquire a night before the interview schedule date. · - Set a specific goal – You choose your goal and stick to it. (Answering 50-100 questions, 2 mock interviews…) · - Discuss with colleagues and know the trends. Learn from job websites and figure out the type of questions asked. · - Think, write your responses for the most common job questions. Don’t avoid this step. Writing is preparation and practice. No one can learn football by reading football articles. · - Improve your responses based on feedback from your friend and senior · - Stay committed to your goal and stay positive

Consistent, systematic practice will see you through the interview. Take a challenge and attempt one question a day for the next few days. Think your story for each question and prepare your response. Seek feedback and build into your response.
