This
question
is one
of the
most
basic
and
most
asked
interviewing
questions.With
a
poorly
conceived
answer
you
could
be
eliminated
from
consideration.
The
main
issue
is
maintain
a
positive
reason
for
leaving
that
last
position
.It is
difficult
for
you to
look
good
if you
suggest
your
last
position
was
problematic
in any
way. A
great
way,
then
,to
remember
to
keep
this
issue
as
positive
as
possible,is
a new
command
"Thou
shalt
never
speak
ill of
thy
former
employer!"Negatives
always
have
some
kind
of
effect
on
interviewers,even
if the
story
is
perfectly
understandable,
even
if the
interviewer
agrees
with
the
tragic
circumstances.
We
strongly
suggest
that
the
answer
to
this
question
should
be
prepared
well
in
advance
of any
marketing,
especially
interviewing.It's
also
advisable
to
make
sure
that
you're
keeping
the
employer's
interest
ahead
of
your
own in
the
interview.Saying"I
left
to
seek
better
opportunities
which
could
sound
self-serving-would
be
stated
better
as
"I'm
looking
for a
situation
which
will
completely
utilize
my
skills
and
experience…..'"which
offers
the
opportunity
to
present
those
experiences,rather
than a
defensive
over
-explained
reaction.
With
these
kind
of
questions
best
to
keep
it
short
and
simple.
