Highlighting Last Job Positives

How you answer this question will give the employer some insight into how well you are going to fit into their corporate culture. Interests correlate directly to work performance so talk about the things you enjoyed which are relevant to the position.

If you are going for a job in sales, it would be a good idea to emphasise your love of client interaction and closing a deal, or if the position you apply for requires you to meet important deadlines you could highlight that you enjoy working in a high-pressure environment.

A word of warning – it’s better to talk about liking challenges and achievements, rather than a hefty pay packet and long corporate lunches.
