Dealing With “Why Did You Leave Your Last Job?”

Written By InterviewFlo

“Beacuse i hated my boss”. Let’s just not start with that.

This one can feel like a landmine. Badmouthing past employers will sink you fast. The trick: keep it positive and forward-looking.

Tips:

  • Don’t rant or overshare drama.

  • Focus on growth opportunities.

  • Keep it short and simple.

Example answer:
“I valued my time at [Company], but growth opportunities were limited. I’m looking for a role where I can take on larger projects and continue building leadership skills.”

Professional, concise, and optimistic.
