    "Don't trash your former employer" is the most on-point advice for this type of question.
    I've asked (and been asked) this question countless times. The goal is not to get applicants to divulge the true reasons why they no longer work for their previous employer. The goal is to test the applicants' ability to remain tactful and diplomatic in difficult situations. As a recruiter, I understand that applicants don't leave employment because everything was fine and dandy with their previous employer. What I want to know is the applicant's ability to deal with difficult situations and to leave any resentment behind.

      I quit recently and i m have been questioned like crazy about this questions and for them is never enough to hear that by time strategy of the management is changed and my straight doesnt fit for the role and there is no future opportunities for my carrer growth and im ready for new challenges and this opportunity makes me excited.

    • @damarisfigueroa-mojica2904
      @damarisfigueroa-mojica2904 2 года назад +5

      How do I answer that question? Easy, why did you leave your old job, well I wanted more out of the company there was no room to grow, I am looking for a company that consider a person like me that is eye to detail, goal oriented and want more out of life then a receptionist position becuz I am so good at it. I want to be your assistant some day
      I want long term with a company do you have this in your company sir??? I turn it to them and we keep going back and forth.

      Wrong, you only get a LIE from applicants. That is, you never learn the reason why they left because they are taught to lie.

    Sir, you explain it very very clear and realistic. Some of these words I really wait when I'm hiring new members for my institution. But maybe it's just a bad luck, lots of them just sharing the same sad story that looks very unprofessional. When you're looking for a job, you need to promote your best self, not begging for it. Sorry to say that 😕

I've seen my environment were not able to developed my passion coz my job was not really related to a career that i want to be. i realize that after of trying different things i see myself gradually if where i invest my time and this was really awesome to found out your true purpose in life.
