Interviewers:
“Why did you leave your last job?”
Here are 15 reasons (which interviewers generally accept) why people leave their old jobs:
- “I had been with the organization for several years and wanted to experience a new environment to continue growing.”
- “I was offered a promotion at another company.”
- “I left for an opportunity to advance my career.”
- “I was offered a significant pay increase & a very big opportunity for career development.”
- “I left to work on a product I was very passionate about.”
- “A former boss or colleague recruited me to join their company.”
- “My department brought in a new manager and I felt it was the right time to leave.”
- “I was hired for a certain role, but over time that changed and I was no longer being allowed to do the work I was interested in.”
- “I was no longer finding the work fulfilling or enjoying my work as much.”
- “I had been with this company for many years and learned a lot, but felt ready for a change.”
- “I reevaluated my career goals and decided a change was needed.”
- “I went back to school to pursue a Master’s Degree (or Ph.D., etc.)”
- “I resigned from my last job to take care of a family issue. The issue is resolved so I can work full time again without any issues.”
