I quit a job in the medical field 3 years ago because a doctor I worked for made sexual advances toward me. I ignored it for a year then one evening he came on too strong.Everyone was gone, you can imagine the rest.( I tried to ask this last night but I guess I got too graphic and the question disappeared).I gave my notice and qiut. What should I tell a potential interviewer when they ask why I left a job that paid so well and I was there 10 years. By the way I haven't been able to find a job in the medical field since.

Tell the truth, it's always the safest bet. Just say "I was having problems with a superior." If they want to know more, say "I was being harassed." A previous employer can not give you a straight out bad reference and the person that you are apply for a job with can only ask yes or no questions.

Be honest with them. Tell the truth. Or you just say you like the job, but you were looking for a better opportunity.

I guess I would tell them it was for personal reasons. If you aren't comfortable with that you can say that you want to explore other specialties in the medical field.

I like the phrase "It wasn't a good fit for me." That's honest and it doesn't sound like you're blaming the place you used to work or blaming yourself. If they press for more information, you could just say it was a personal matter and you'd rather not discuss it.

your best bet is to be honest incase your potential employer calls to get a reference from them about you. If they catch you in a lie they won't hire you.
