Job Interview Question: What College Subjects Did You Like Least?

By , About.com Guide

When you are applying for an entry level position a typical job interview question is "What college subjects did you like least, and why?"

Here are sample interview answers which you can edit to fit your personal experiences and background:

  • The college subjects I liked least were the ones that didn't pertain to my major. Once I got rolling on my path to becoming an elementary school teacher, it was hard to study for a French exam knowing I had projects to work on that were not only essential to complete my major requirements, but were also a lot more appealing to me.
  • As much as I would love to be an artist, I unfortunately was not blessed with the talent. Even with the best drawing and painting professors, I was not able to perfect my ability to do either. So, I would have to say, my least favorite subjects were introduction to drawing and introduction to painting.
  • My least favorite college subject was math. As an English Literature major, all I wanted to do was read the work of great authors and perfect my writing ability. I found Math, more specifically Linear Algebra, to be a difficult class for me to participate in and prepare for, but it was a requirement, so I forged ahead and completed the course.
