Default Why do you leave...?

If you are not happy with your boss, colleagues, salary and working environment in this company, you resigned for another job.

Upon interview got to fill up the application form, there's a question: "Why do you leave your previous job?".
Will u answer in a honest way? Or will u give excuse? Why?

The most common answer is "looking for a better prospect.." "want to learn new things.."

Its always better prospects, trying something new.

It is not good to say anything bad about the previous job, company or boss.

All posts made are of subjective nature by default, unless explicitly mentioned. I am afterall still human.

Change of enviorment and learn new things. Most of management from the ex-company I've work in does not appreciate what I've done. Over worked and under paid. Back-stabbers. Getting a better CV, career, higher pay and also higher position.

you can say anything except badmouthing your ex boss .

人情味不是偏私而是博爱,

不是施舍而是关怀。

不是表面的礼貌,

而是内心的尊重。


Friends will bail you out of jail.but Best Friends will be sitting by you saying,
" that was awesome !"
