Why Did you Leave your Last Job? | Best Answer (from former CEO)

Hey everyone, today I'm going to give you the best answer to the job interview question, "Why did you leave your last job?" There are many variations of this question, but they're all really asking the same thing. So, we give them all the same answer. Now, this seems like a simple, harmless, factual question,

right? But, it's really a very damaging and dangerous question in disguise. Now, not always, but often, recruiters will ask it to see if you're the type of person that will badmouth their previous employer or boss or co-workers. And that's a very bad thing because if you're the type of person that will badmouth them, you'll probably badmouth

people at this current job if they were to hire you. I mean, would you hire someone who spreads bad things about you behind your back? Now, this is a negativity question. It can be a more subtle form of what didn't you like about your previous boss or company. Often, when interviewers ask a question,

whether they're a recruiter or a hiring manager, there's almost always a question beneath the question. It's important to know what they're really asking. You also want to avoid using negative words or expressing negative ideas. This is because if they've just met you and they're still forming an impression of you, if you start talking

about all the people you don't get along with and the situations that didn't work out for you, they're going to assume you're a very negative, problematic person. That's why we need to put a positive spin on every single interview question, even negativity questions like this one. Now, remember, we always tell the truth, but we don't always disclose
