Informational Interview Question:

What is the least favorite part of your job?

Submitted by: Administrator

Asking this informational interview question can help draw out any potential downsides of the job that might not be obvious to an outsider.
Example:
A workshop facilitator might tell you he dislikes all of the paperwork he is required to deal with. If you had simply attended one of the facilitator's workshops, you would see the public part of the job, but you would not know about the private side of the job.
