A month ago I quit a job I had for 11 months because I was being treated poorly by the CEO and the vice president( my work not being noticed, having 7 years experience with this certain job and being extremely underpaid by knowing a co-worker with only 2 years experience was getting paid $4 dollars per hour more, being told I would get a raise after the first of the year and then being told I wouldn't because they didn't have the money to pay me more but 2 days later asked a part time employee if she could work more hours and 2 weeks later another part time employee started full time, I was ingnored by both the CEO and the Vice President when I came in the office or vice versa and when they left they didn't say bye but did to the others in the office) It all added up over the months and I couldn't take another day there being treated like that. I can't tell that to a person who is interviewing me. What is the best way to answer this question without being asked more?

That you wanted to take a break and found that it was the best time at that job to do so. You do not need to address why you really left.

regardless, you should have given two weeks notice. That was a rash decision on your part, now you've burned that bridge. I'm sorry, I'm sure you have heard that enough so on to the question..."Personal conflicts with the way business was conducted" should be sufficient and you can say that you don't care to elaborate IF they should pry. It is better to quit rather than be fired so that's one plus.Just remember that you are,many times, low man on totem pole and have to "prove yourself" before gaining any respect or recognition. In a personal relationship, the getting to know each other period is 2 years so give it at most that amount of time before expecting anything and if after that time you have not gotten what you expect then you could approach the manager/boss/CEO in a mature manner and perhaps get your point across. Rome wasn't built in a day, my friend!!

In my last part time job, I found out that new hires were being paid almost $3 per hour more than me. When I went to the manager, she freaked out at me. She then started demanding that I work on my day off and even asked me to take a pay cut so she could afford to pay her asst. manager more. I quit on the spot. In an interview for my next job, I told them I quit because of scheduling conflicts. No more questions were asked, and they hired me.

just say that you have some personal matter which at that moment is more important than work and as you have no wish to disrupt the work in your previous organization, you choose the best way for both parties and that is to give advance notice to your company and then you quit your job.

You need to speak the truth although I suggest that you should not wash dirty linens about your past employers. Your reason could be you wanted a breather, take care of sicked one at home, etc.. this would put you in better records.

I think you should tell the truth because they might actually be able to help you with the impulsiveness, or at least not lose money and be surprised if you do it again..
