My bosses (married couple) are yelling all the time. It is really unbearable. No one ever stayed more than six month with them. I just can't go there anymore... I am from Germany. In Germany we speek open about these things in an interview. I heard that it is different here in the states. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so much in advance!

As a person who interviews and hires, I dont want 45 thousand details, and I dont want a person to squirm when I ask why you left. If you look uncomfortable, I wonder why, and I wont trust you if its obvious you are lying or give a weak answer.
There are several answers that are good here. Said company is a better fit, looking to move up, better suited to my education/needs/closer to home whatever... saying there is an issue with management makes me wonder if you are a trouble maker, and maybe YOU were the problem (however unfair that may be, its the truth).
Dont lie about why you left, steer it away to positive reasons for joining the new organization.
Hope this helps. Good luck.

Tell them that you have researched their company, the one where you are interviewing at and feel it would be the perfect fit for you and for them, that while you regret leaving your current position only after five months, that you feel their company exhibits better alignment to your professional goals. Then make sure you can back that up with specifics about their company which you can look up over the internet or at the local Chamber of Commerce and how those specifics are beneficial to you within your career aspirations. Best of luck to you!

Tell the employer that you need to be in a new healthy work environment. Tell them that you don't feel validated or appreciated by your bosses despite your hard work. Be honest in sharing your experience with your current job, but bear in mind not to ever criticize your current employers how mean they maybe, it's very unprofessional and the new employer might think that you'd criticize them, too in the future.
Best of luck to ya!

I would tell the perspective employer the truth. That your previous employers were married and brought there home environment into the workplace and that made you uncomfortable. Don't go into detail about what they were actually screaming about, your next employer will appreciate your candor.

My current position will not allow me to continue any further within the company. If I wish to grow and expand my knowledge, regrettable I must leave my current position and look outside the company. Or you could try something like this - I have reached the ceiling of available positions in my company. To continue my knowledge and expand my skill level I must look outside the company.

Your best bet is always tell you want to increase your income and want to learn more .... never explain problems from previous employer , what ever it is , always praise your existing employer even if is a white lie , and good luck .

Just tell them it wasn't the right fit for you and that your bosses had personal issues that were affecting the business and the morale.
