Girl to girl: be that girl again.
Get disciplined again. Take care of yourself again. Eat better & move your body again. Oil your edges & drink your water again. Start praying & reading your Bible again. Get your money up and sleep 8 hours again. Find your spark and put yourself first.
As a parent you shouldn't be telling your kids that you sacrificed your life for them, Itโs hurtful and manipulative, and itโs not true. You chose to have your kids and nobody forced you to have them. Taking care of them is your responsibility.
Interviewer: "Why did you leave your last job?"
For candidates who already have work experience, this question is indeed one of the most common questions during interviews. Your answer is important because the interviewer wants to evaluate the way you think, not just why you resigned.
Below is an example of safe and mature answers according to their respective ๐ situations
1. Reasons for salary & responsibilities
๐ Focus on career development, not just money.
Example:
"I have achieved my targets in this role before and now I am looking for opportunities that give me more responsibility and room to grow."
2. Changes in the organization
๐ Avoid sounding like complaining.
Example:
"Due to changes in internal structure, many projects have been halted and development opportunities have been limited."
3. Change career direction
๐ Show you are clear with goals.
Example:
"I am looking for a role that is more in line with my long-term goals and the skills I want to build."
4. Want opportunities to grow
๐ This is the answer that interviewers like.
Example:
"I feel like I've reached the maximum level in my role now and I want a new challenge to upgrade my skills."
5. The scope of work has changed
๐ Professional & honest.
Example:
"My scope of work has changed a lot and I no longer use my main skills. This role is more in line with my experience."
6. Company is struggling
๐ Don't blame the company.
Example:
"There are cost reductions and future opportunities are quite limited, so I think it's the right time to move forward."
๐ Important reminder:
Interview answers are not 100% real stories
The interview answer must look professional and strategic.

The funny thing about this Kairo's story is that the sluts he was entertaining and splashing millions of clients' money on, are nowhere to be seen as he endures these rainy days. Not in police cells, in court or to bail him out; the monkeys simply swung to the next branch.
