It is never easy to discuss what you didn't like about your last job position because you may not understand how it affects the jobs you are applying for. It is best to stick with something honest. If it is the determining factor for not being hired, then it might be best anyway since it may not have been a good match.

Because the question is geared for a negative response, it is best to think ahead of time about what were some of the things that were not on your "looking forward to" list. Something safe would be to let the interviewer know you have thought about this question (which shows you have prepared for the interview) and then proceed to highlight the positives in the position. Remember that the interviewer will still want an answer to their question - so regardless of how awkward you feel, its best to prepare.

For example (this response is geared for a position that is customer service oriented):

"I've given this question some thought, and overall I've been very satisfied with my previous job. I've been able to work with some interesting people. I have to say that I did have a job where there was an inordinate amount of paperwork. Because working with people is my strength, the paperwork really bogged me down at times."

It should not be difficult to answer what you liked best about your former employment. However, take some time to carefully construct the answer to the question about what you liked least. Pick an aspect of the job, but do not discuss co-workers or management.

What do you like best about your last position?

What about our position do you find the most and least attractive?

When you are asked this, it means what about the possible job do you like, and what do you think you might not like as much. This is actually a tricky question. You are being asked to evaluate the position (the job you are applying for), but you do not want to sound too negative. Be honest, but be tactful. Tell what you like about the job-- why you want to be hired, what interested you about this particular position. But as for what you find the least attractive, that would depend on how much you know about the job duties or the hours or the pay.
