What's the question that you hate to answer in a job interview?

I hate the generic "tell me about yourself". It sounds so fake, like they are really interested in you....They just want to get a sense of how intelligent you are and how well you speak, I understand that, but really. What I really hate these days are the personality tests that they sometimes make you take, like anyone really anwser those honestly. For now I am certainly glad that I am a stay at home mom and not going back into the work force for at least another 5 years. Do who knows what interviews will be like then.

There are no particular questions which would bring me down if it is related to the educational and academic background of mine. But when it comes to the personal questions like: "What is your religion?" or "Are you married and if you're not, when is your plan of marriage?", it would be hard for me to answer since I don't like the type of question. There is another question. I don't hate the type of question, but it is hard for me to answer: "How much do you want for your initial salary?". That's hard. And I wouldn't even know how to answer since, if I give it too low I would be sorry for later, and if I give it too high, they would think twice to hire me. That's the hardest question according to me.

i hate answering the question "what do you think is your weakness?" because it expose your bad/weak side to the interviewers. I think the best way to answer this is to say that your weakness is your fear of failing. But of course, it still shows a weakness.

I have to say the same question on what are my strengths and my weaknesses. That is one question I really avoid in an interviews. It is very hard to answer that question when it is difficult to determine to narrow down which are my strengths when it may come out different to the interviewers. I would rather say none for weaknesses since we can always improve on anything and everything.

I hate it when they ask questions about expected salary. I don't know whether to answer with a higher range or a lower range. It's very awkward because you may seem too arrogant if you say a high range, or too desperate, if you say a low range.

i hate difficult question in job interview i like easy questions are answerable and satisfy with easy questions because they are not stressful

The questions would be "Why do you leave your last job?" and "Where do you see yourself in 5 years time?", because you need to answer in a way that you are not bearing grudges, pour your unhappiness over your previous employment and leave a bad impression on the interviewer. For the second question which concerns the future, it is difficult to give a definite answer and also must be answered in a way that does not hint that you're only going to work for the current company for a short period of time. For the question on strengths and weaknesses, it is equally difficult, as in how to think of a way to transform the weaknesses into something useful and present it convincingly to the employer. As a matter of fact, the employer would have a list of questions we hate to answer to screen for the right candidates.

I think are many questions that I don't like to answer. Such as what do you think about overtime work? What's your expected salary? etc. Perhaps the most I dislike is why do you leave your previous company. I think this will be an embarrassing question. I love China

more, such as what's your expected salary ? how about your english degree ? why you left your previous company ? etc. many of those questions that i hate to answer.most of the position do not need know that answer and those high degree.some employ company always request high talent and knowledge for the new employee,in fact,most of the job can be used by others who do not have this,good luck and have a nice day!

The question that I hate the most during job interviews is "why should I hire you?" I know that it is just a question to assess your worth as a possible future employee, but it always makes me nervous because I have to think of an answer that would tell the interviewer that I have something the other applicants don't have.

Yeah, that's true, i had got several job interviews, but i still need to find a job, the lastest interview is a pity, the manager always asded my strengths and weaknesses are, i think it's not difficult to answer, for we questions is not what he think. everyone is different, but he only want a person who from he mind. Hope everything goes well. Best wishes from Xiaohui.

hey, I have attended many interviews just for experience never really got selected anyway because of one same question.i.e why do you want this job. true answer to this question would be for the money of course but no body really answers that people say tons of BS so did i like i want field experience and blah blah lol

Hmmm the question i dont like is - what salary do you expect. That is a very complicated question. You never know what to answer. If you point too low salary you will probably injure your own interest as the emplyer could give you salaty lower than the other workers on the same position take. And on the other side if you mentione too big salary that will surelly cut your chances to get the job

Look,I hate it if they ask me how much salary you can accept it. That's very difficult to answer.

Hi, myzire72. The question that I dread is when the employer will ask why did you leave your last job. They always want you to state the reason why you last left there. This is what I hate the most. I can't stand telling them the truth why I left from the job that I was working at. I have to make the truth sound not like a lie. And, I don't want it to sound like I am just quitting and not staying at a job for so long.

Hi, myzire I really do not know how to answer this question: "how do you manage your time?" I have no idea what to say. I have asked some friends how they answer that question but it seems their suggestions do not quite feel right to me. Cheers!

I really hate to reveal my horrible job references.I don't have any good references.When I've quit a job it wasn't for good reason,so now it affects me,I'm having trouble getting another job.

helo, myzire72! i'd been to job interviews and had interviewed applicants myself. i don't really hate answering job interviews because i like talking (of course with a sense). i just wanna say that if you don't really like the question about strengths and weaknesses, especially the last one, let me share you a trick. sure it's like selling what you'e got to get hired, right? just use one positive quality of yours and try to make it sound like negative. for example aiming for perfection or being too workaholic. one time, i just got a call from a call center which one of the employees under my group apply at. that group member was quite a pain in the neck but i still build her up so she could get hired. by the way, i like job interviews. they're very interesting.

HI! Till now I have been only on two job interviews, but as I know from some friends of mine, the questions are always the same. SO the most hated question according to me is: "Why do you want this job?". I think that is the dullest question they could ask me! On second place is : " Why do you think, you can handle with this job?" Well,when I am here, I think it means I can handle it and my diploma shows and proofs it too! SO I don't see any point in that question!

I have attended no of interviews and few questions are repeated every time however there are some new entries as well - Why do you think we should offer this job to you? My point to this would be - the company has called me and shortlisted for the job and after testing my skills you ask such question. Another Question - As you stated right , what are your weaknesses. I can tell my strengths but its really hard to figure out my weakness. If I know my weakness, definitely I am going to work on that.
