Why did you leave your last job? Interview question?

Question

When you leave a job because of a bad situation with a terrible coworker or boss, how do you handle that in an interview?

Answer 1

You tell them that you were looking to grow and take on more responsibilites to advance your career and there was no opportunity there. Never, ever bad mouth your previous boss or co-workers in an interview. Just focus on the positive.
Good luck!

Answer 2

I think managers are a waste of money and space, too bad cause I loved my job. Athough I had 3 interviews I decided to take my disability instead.

Answer 3

I left cause i hated my boss and in my next interview when they asked me, I told them that she and I had issues that were irreconcilable. They did not ask any other questions and I got the job.

Answer 4

Just be honest. Say you had disagreements with management and couldn't see yourself progressing in the company the way that you wanted.

Answer 5

You try to be honest, but at the same time talk as little about it and talk about your other qualities/qualifications that you bring to the new job.

Answer 6

always jus say something like I left because I felt that I wouldnt be able to move up or become beneficial to the company as awhole.

Answer 7

Answer as positively as possible.....an interview is not a time to vent.

Answer 8

Tell them better opportunity. It really dont matter to thme because of privacy issues they can't know but they want you to tell on yourself

Answer 9

just dont mention the jobs you quite were fired from. but if you have too then just be honest becuase people love honest people. lol

Answer 10
