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

Negotiation is an important life skill

We negotiate most of our waking hours. We negotiate with our team members, colleagues, bosses and vendors at work, with our kids, spouse and parents at home. We negotiate during buying or selling of an asset e.g. house, car and also conflict resolution and during salary negotiations. Negotiation is an important life skill and it contributes to our success.

If we do not negotiate well or don’t negotiate at all then there is a big chance that we are going to leave money on the table, which could have been ours. We often don’t negotiate because we feel it is inappropriate or feel uncomfortable and fear it.

“You don't get what you deserve. You get what you negotiate.” Chester Karrass
