Why Are You Leaving Your Current Job? How to Answer Correctly
My Premium Resume Package: https://jeffsu.gumroad.com/l/premium-...
Too honest and they won't hire you. Too vague and they'll not believe you. In this video I show you how to answer the dreaded interview question "Why are you Leaving your Current Job?" by providing healthy, positive, yet honest reasons as to why you might be leaving a job.
First, you want to prepare 1-2 sentences ahead of time that answers the why are you leaving your job question up front. Don't hide or avoid it, interviewers are wise to those tactics already. Make sure you stick with 2 sentences maximum because it's easy to start ranting and go off on a tangent during the heat of the moment (especially if you're having a particularly negative experience with your current employer).
Then you want to show you're not making stuff up by giving a concrete example as to why you are leaving your current job, then smoothly transition into talking about the new role you're applying for.
Finally, you talk about how the problems you might be facing at your current job will be a non-issue at the new role because you have already done your research and you know what to expect in the new job. A combination of these will give you the best answer to why did you leave your current job or variations such as why did you leave your last job.
