Leaving your current job

Here are some tips for answering this questions:


Never speak poorly about your current (previous) employer. This question is an opportunity to sell yourself, not air your dirty laundry.

Put your reason for leaving in the best light possible. For example, if your company has looked over you for a promotion, or you don't think you make enough money, you might say "I seek to work in a meritocracy" or "I want to work in a more entrepreneurial environment."

Always consider what the job requires, and think about an answer that contrasts what your previous company didn't have but this current job does. If you are looking to move from a large company to a small company, you might say you've had a wonderful experience seeing how a large company does business, and you are looking to apply that knowledge you've gained in a setting where you'd have greater responsibility and more accountability for your decisions.

Never speak poorly about the previous employer , never ever . If you do , then you are certainly off the job because if you say this about the previous one there is a sure shot thing that you will do this about the present one too , if you leave this job and go , so no one wants to employ somepne who cannot be grateful to a company who gave him the job .
And never be too detailed about the reason as that may look like you are trying to hide and cover up something with large words .
