Imagine that you left your present job due to some personal reason. You start searching new job, you gone through all the rounds and in the final round HR will ask "why did you leave your previous job?" Also imagine that you are in the same city where you were previously working.

The most important thing to remember about this question is that these people don't care about your personal issues, so don't ramble about them. I ask this question of everyone I interview, and I really don't care about the answer. I just want to see how they handle it. This question is a personality test. It's obvious that you're not satisfied with your current position or you wouldn't be interviewing. What they are looking for is the tact and professionalism to handle the question with diplomacy. I would say something like, "I've learned a lot with my recent employer, and I feel those skills have equipped me to take on a new challenge." Whatever you do, don't dish on your old employer, or drag out the dirty laundry for airing. Save the negative remarks for after you're hired. (Way after) They want to see a positive, professional, tactful applicant. Good Luck with this.

that is the commonest question and without sounding cliche or itemizing off the failings that you hated in the previous job i'd recommend that you provide a sparkling answer like " My present day job is high quality even with the indisputable fact that the crew that i develop into put in did not provide one hundred% to our projects or assignments (whichever way you want it) via which our organisation would not strengthen and that i as someone believe in the skill of the solidarity, no doubts i position self assurance in myself yet in an surroundings like yours ( the recent job) the position each and every thing works lower than you in self-discipline the organisation will progression and so will I ,

I would not mention the personal reasons unless specifically put on the spot regarding them. Then be as honest as possible without divulging all the gory details. NEVER badmouth previous employers, work mates or the job.

I would be more inclined to say you were looking to further your career and believe this company offers better opportunities for you to do so.
Or:
You were looking to change direction into a new industry, one that offered potential to advance (if that applies).

Be honest without talking too much trash about your last company. Everyone's thrown up their hands at one point and said "I quit!" Usually over pay. My favorite is "They weren't paying me what they promised they would." Anyone can identify with that.
"I wanted to look for other opportunities without distraction."
"Its a grood company, but I wasn't a good fit."
"The stress was affecting my health, I was doing the jobs of three people and they weren't going to hire anyone."

If something was going on that was unfair or you were being abused, there's nothing wrong with telling them that.
