Why did you leave your previous job?

• Only say nice things about your previous work.• Talk about how you want to improve yourself.

I really learned a lot in my last job, like how to work under pressure, and now I’m looking for a new challenge.


• Be careful! Be honest, but not TOO honest.• Briefly explain how you are improving on this.

I sometimes ask a lot of questions when learning something new because I really want to make sure that I understand it 100%, so I’ve been practicing how to learn new skills more quickly.


• Show your confidence, and try to use two or three adjectives that describe yourself.

Because I believe I am hardworking, dedicated, and eager to learn skills.


• Try to let them know that you want to stay! Be ambitious, but not TOO ambitious.

Five years from now? Well, I hope that the company would be happy enough with my work that I might be able to have some bigger responsibilities.


• If you had a previous job, talk nicely about it and what it taught you.

• No previous job? Try to relate what you’ve learned outside of school to this job (internship, etc.)

I really enjoyed working with the people and helping others in my previous job. It was a great learning experience!

Now, practice it again!
