What to say when asked why you left previous job? when the conditions of the job was unpleasant, and the management was terrible, and there was a lot of back stabbing going on in this small petty office. One day I cracked, and quit. Doesn't make me look good, but I couldn't take it any longer. Its been months, and cant find a job, its almost like I have been black listed. HELP

lack of management, poor professional ethics
I think if you use these you are kind of saying that things were out of control and that you are more professional then that. Don't elaborate unless you are asked to. Chances are that you will get to the interview at least. Then you can just explain that there was no control and things weren't working in the best for the company. This will show that you were worried about the company but the company wasn't worried about the company. See? Sort of constructively lay blame on the company that their management didn't seem to care about the quality of what had to be done. Explain that you want to be part of a team that has a future. Make it seem like you DO in fact care about the company you work for and that you don't wanna see it run poorly. Hope this helps.
You should add on what kind of job you had and what state. Maybe someone will see this and help. good luck.

it really is honestly no longer a good reason to leave a pastime. in case you've been given a written caution, they probable might want to assist you enter a rebuttal on your report. They do this each position i have labored. and that i'm particular once you wrote it up and submitted it they could have realized it become basically an mistakes and a dropped ball. you want to be more effective mature in the direction of operating than that. operating away because someone made you mad could were left behind contained in the third grade. That stated, no one choose comprehend no matter if you gave be conscious or no longer. and honestly do no longer go into the tale you in consumer-friendly words wrote. by no ability undesirable-mouth your previous employers or say you would possibly want to no longer get alongside. So in case you are able to spin a good tale about why you left, i don't believe of every person might want to comprehend if it become without be conscious.

I would refrain from badmouthing the old company, bosses or coworkers. You do not want to appear negative or hard to work with.
If asked by an interviewer, you could state that there was no room for promotion. Or mention there was a lack of growth in your position there - - you value learning new things and taking on responsibility and there wasn't an opportunity like that available to you there.
As far as not being able to find work, there are plenty of reputable temp agencies out there that not only provide temporary contract work, but also offer temp-perm positions.
Good luck!

The truth is always a good choice. From the description you have given regarding your previous position, you may want to tell the interviewer that you left your previous job because you felt there wasn't enough opportunity for advancement.
Good luck!

If you have to lie, you may say there was a family business to take care of which required you to be out of town for a while. Make sure to say it has been completely taken care of. You could say you were not certain if you would be coming back to town or not and that was why you quit. However, if the potential employer want to confirm with your former employer, this will not work unless your former employer has a 100% policy of not making any reference about your performance or reason for quitting.

You are "seeking better opportunity"
If you are getting a little short on cash, pick up a waitressing job somewhere until you find something more permanent. You can make good money in a short amount of time. Good luck

Honesty is best in job interviews. Don't bash your old company, but everyone has had bad working experiences (including probably your interviewer) and people can often see through deceptiveness or evasiveness.

Well i would let them know that you felt the company was very unprofessional in many matters and impossible to work for and maybe give them some examples and tell them that you want to work for someone who is professional in dealing with all issues. =)
