From Kay Stout, for About.com

With the question "Who was your best boss and who was the worst?" the interviewer is trying to discover if you assess blame or carry a grudge.

Best Answers

  • I've learned from each boss I've had. From the good ones, what to do, from the challenging ones - what not to do.
  • Early in my career, I had a mentor who helped me a great deal, we still stay in touch. I've honestly learned something from each boss I've had.
