What interviewers want to find out when they ask you “What do you enjoy most about your job?”
When an interviewer asks what you enjoy most about your current job, it’s usually to gauge whether you’ll be a good fit for their company.
They’ll be listening to your tone of voice and attitude towards your current employer to get a sense of your character.
If you speak negatively about your current employer, it can show off your personality in an unfavourable light.
Preparing your answer to “What do you enjoy most about your job?”
- Focus on the positives of your job role
- Talk about your responsibilities and achievements (use numbers and percentages if possible)
- Highlight skills gained that have prepared you for your new role
- Avoid speaking negatively about your company or co-workers
