Interview Question: Why did you leave your last job?

Question

If you were asked that in the interview, what would be a very general and good answer to this question?

Answer 1

If you were fired, just say, " it didn't work out. "  Surely if you were fired, it  didn't work out!

Answer 2

whatever the reason, be positive about it.  you wanted more of challenge, you had gone as far as you could with the company & are looking for more, etc.

Answer 3

You needed a change, wanted to work at a location closer to home, there was a conflict with work and school schedules, were looking for experience more in line with your career path, wanted something with more educational opportunities, etc.

Answer 4

A good answer would be that they weren't giving you enough hours, or enough money.

I left my last job because the boss was a b****, but I don't think you should say that in an interview.
