𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐢𝐞𝐰𝐞𝐫: “𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐣𝐨𝐛?”
It might look like an easy question, but believe it or not, over 75% of people answer it wrongly. Here are 6 simple examples you can use:
1. Salary reasons
"I have made the most of my job at [company] and successfully achieved the objectives I set. Now I need a new challenge to expand my skills and to enjoy the rewards that come with more responsibility."
2. Job description changed
"I was hired for a specific position, but over time, that has changed significantly, and I no longer get the opportunity to use the skills that I was hired for or do the work that I am best equipped for. My abilities are matched to the requirements of this job."
3. Company is struggling financially
"I have valued my time at [company]. Unfortunately, the company is currently cutting costs, and some members of my department were let go. I can't see any prospects within the organization. So I think it's the right time to move on."
4. Opportunity for professional growth
"I feel I have reached the ceiling in my current job, and I am eager for a fresh challenge. This job appeals to me because I will be dealing __ and developing my __ skills."
5. Structural changes
"I have valued my time at [company] and am proud of my accomplishments there, but we are undergoing structural changes and many of my projects have been canceled. The recent organizational changes have limited future advancement opportunities."
6. Changing goals
"I have re-evaluated my career goals and I am determined to find a position that better fits with my long-term objectives and where I can contribute to the best of my ability. This job opportunity will allow me to develop my __ skills while using my __ experience."
