Question: What did you hate about your last employer?
Answer: the scenario here is that the interviewer wants you to say something uncomplimentary about your ex-employer. The best thing to be done is to take advantage of the question and turn it round so that it makes it sound like the negative is in fact a positive!

"It always grieves me whenever I noticed inefficiencies in the processing workflows and controls. On several occasions this will prompt me to make some suggestions regarding the ways to improve these inefficiencies only to discover that such suggestions are not utilized. Whereas some of these suggestions would have save money and improve quality”.
Questions: I have carefully looked through your resume and I discovered that you have never actually served in this capacity in any of your previous companies. Can tell us briefly how you going to coop?

Explain your previous experience to similar situations whereby you are moved around within your former companies and were faced with new technology which you had to learn quickly.
The earlier you turn this into a positive privilege the better, showing how you can adapt to changing circumstances and have a flexible approach. Display how you pick up new skills quickly.
