QUESTION: What have been your most favorite

QUESTION: What have been your most favorite and least favorite jobs and why?
ANSWER A: I suppose that my favorite job was my last job as a Web designer. I think that the reason I liked it so much was that it was so creative and I never stopped learning new software programs. I’ve really liked all of my jobs, but if I have to pick one that I liked the least, it would probably be the job I had in high school as a parking lot attendant. I liked meeting people when they passed by, but I can’t really say it
was my favorite job.

ANSWER B: I have really liked all of my jobs equally. I guess you could say all of them are my favorite jobs.
ANSWER C: I think my favorite job was bookkeeping because I got to work mostly on my own. My least favorite job was the one I had as a senior bookkeeper when my manager was always checking over my work and telling me what to do next.

Like many questions and with the hidden agenda, the question above would probably be asked to uncover a “negative.” Choice B is not really directly answering the question and sounds a little wishy-washy. Answer C poses the most negative issues because it indicates that this employee had trouble working with his or her manager and probably doesn’t like working on a team. Choice A is the preferred answer because it states two positive skills that the person has (creativity and liking to learn new things) and the negative (the job in the parking lot) is fairly
innocuous.
