Interviewing at an old job- Need Advice?

Question

I left 3 months ago on good terms (ie: put in 2 wk notice, still talk to old co-workers, etc.) but for several reasons; they were eliminating my position and I wasn't interested in the one available, I also was not happy with the boss that was there (he's since been fired).
A new position has opened in another department and I was told by an old co-worker that they wanted me to send in my resume.
My question is how do I delicately say I left because I wasn't thrilled with the place?! LOL? Yes, I know there is a chance I won't be happy w/ the scenerio again but this is a temp. position that I am comfortable doing.
Again, my question is what can I say that isn't negative in my interview about why I quit last time?

Answer 1

INTERVIEWER: I see here that you've worked for us before. Why did you leave?

YOU: Well, you're right, I did work here up until 3 months ago. My position was eliminated and I decided to take that opportunity to look for something on that same path. Since I've been away, I've been thinking about the benefits and advantages of working here and I've realized that this IS where I want to be. In fact, I was so grateful to hear that this position was opening up.

Answer 2

They will understand if you say you were unhappy with your specific position, your relationship with your boss, and besides you left partly because your position was being eliminated. Just don't criticize the company too much.

What have you got to lose? Go for it.

Answer 3

Tell the truth. Say they were eliminating your position and you were not interested in the position available. Then say when you heard about the new position you were excited about it because you like that job.

Peace and blessings!

Answer 4

Just tell them you had opportunity for a temporary leave....

Good luck
