Retail Interview Question:

Tell about the worst boss you have had?

Submitted by: Administrator

Be careful with this one. It is very tempting when one is feeling comfortable to rubbish past bosses to make the potential one feel better, what I call giving them the halo effect while you turn your former boss into the devil! Please resist it. This is not a time just for negativity. You are also showing your own quality if judgment with your reply. You can point out someone, nameless, say a couple of things did that you felt hampered your development or irritated you. However, the main thing to remember is to end on a positive note by pointing out other things the person did which helped you too or which you believe were fair. If you are only going to blame and accuse them, your interviewers will be wondering if that is how you will be treating them too when you leave their company.
