What should you answer when they as you why you quit you passed job ? or your boss asks you why your leaving?

Answer 1

Depends on the situation. Always be honest about why you are leaving. Be as honest, but put a positive spin, on answering the questions of prospective emloyers.

Answer 2

The person who stated that a former employer can not give the reason why someone left is incorrect. An employer can answer that question, they can answer whether or not you are rehirable, and they can discuss specifics as to why someone has been let go. If you sign a release authorization to do a background check you are releasing a former employer to do so. The only thing a former employer may not do is to lie about you, lie about your work or job, and by doing so you can prove that these lies caused your ability to work and find work were affected by these slanderous comments. A lot of people do not understand that even the simple question of "is this person rehirable" is a very telling question. Telling someone that a person "left with no notice", had "conflicts with their boss or co-workers" speak volumes to an H.R. person or manager checking references. Best to leave on good terms, I would say that you found a better opportunity for yourself that will help you grow and learn more in your career. Thank them for the experience you have had with that company, and leave with your head up and a clean slate. You'd be surprised how down the road you may run in to the same people professionally or personally! Don't burn the bridge.

Answer 3

Well, you don't have to answer that question. And when they call your old employer, legally they can't say why you left. All they can say is whether or not they would hire you again.

If it is beause you left for the summer (or the like) then no worries, tell the new employer. If it is something that you don't want people to know (aka you got fired) tell them that you had a conflict of interest and you and your boss didn't see everything the same way.

Answer 4

You should be honest and tell them the real reason you left, because if your prospective employer calls your previous job and finds out you lied about the reason you left, you will not get the job.

As for why you're leaving, simply tell your boss you are leaving to explore other avenues.

Answer 5

Well, they say the truth will set you free, however it may not be the best answer during an interview.

A couple of good general answers:
1. I am seeking greater responsibility
2. I am seeking better opportunities for advancement

Answer 6

Always keep it positive. Say you are looking for new experiences, or you would like to escalate your skills and learn new ones, you would like to explore a new career to enhance your skills, etc.

Answer 7

Do you not know? If you can't answer that question, perhaps you shouldn't BE leaving.
