What are the employer to answer the question: "Why did you leave the old job?

On the other hand, some of the revelations you risk to bring service worker staff of moderate temper. There is even a whole galaxy of truthful answers that will not contribute to your successful employment.

If you do not want to provoke a potential employer, you should not behave as follows:

"Merging negative"

Eycharov often irritate the negative reviews of the candidate on the previous employer. Especially, the general director of the employment agency KPG Resources Roman Portnov, if the answer is poured a detailed complaint on the subject, "like me, loved, Sinister oppressed." Firstly, it is often unconvincing. According to human resources practitioners, the applicant enjoys the fact that the party, which he says can not speak in his own defense. Secondly, the potential employee exhibits excessive emotionality, multiplied by the inflated self-esteem. Third, the potential employer projective carries such negative on yourself and have every reason to believe that the future employee will begin to tell the same thing about him.

Even if from the last place you really went as the battlefield, then at least enough to be heard a similar review and most of your previous jobs. In this case, says HR manager "Agency" Athena "," Ilya Tsyba, the question arises: why are you still working there?

Trying to get away from talking

Eychary Some believe that if a candidate accommodating and has good personal qualities, then it is not difficult to clearly and openly talk about the reasons for which he wants to leave his current employer. According to Ilya Tsyby, trying to get away from the conversation on this subject indicate either "closed" person, or that he was trying to hide unpleasant facts of its own dismissal, which in itself leads to certain reflections.

Unsuccessful responses personnel officers recognized the following phrases:

"Conflict with the leadership of the team"

Even if this information is true, it eychar may decide that you disputed personality, is not able to control myself. Where is the guarantee that the employee will not start in his new job to behave in this way. And often the employer come to mind thoughts of the heroine Faina Ranevskaya, with its catchphrase: "The Kingdom is not enough - there is nowhere to roam!".

"For a long time we did not raise wages"

personnel manager of LLC "Energostroy" Irina Shevtsova believes that the answer is for the specialist service personnel the following: most likely, the employee, and this did not deserve.

"Too much work"

When these words eychar thoughtful and interprets this phrase in two ways. Origin: not cope therefore incompetent. Second, unable to convince management of the need to take a mate.

"Uninteresting work"

And why are you working on it? If you are still there for some time to keep, so that you have something in it tempted. And suddenly you any thing seems uninteresting? With this response, we must be prepared to talk on the theme "my interesting work", and if you are not convincing in further narrative, then it is likely that you will eychar in the "black list".

"Voluntarily"

Also not the best option to respond. This formulation, believes Ilya Tsyba characterizes the candidate as a "closed" person, because instead of the story about the reasons for leaving, he is responsible for the form of dismissal.

Sentences with "no"

Any answers containing particle "not" talk about the negative experience of the duties at this job. Do not use the word "little", "away", "bad", "did not work" because they are certain signs for a specialist service personnel: "Warning - danger!".

Among the best responses in the lead the following two:

"Outgrown his company"

According to Roman Portnov, often the candidates explain their transitions is the project nature of the work, and usually look quite convincing arguments. But in this case, most likely, they will need additional arguments in favor of the applicant's ability to long-term work in the company, if that is what is expected from him. Optimally, if a potential employee can provide advice or coordinate your supervisor from the previous place to confirm the loyalty and amicable parting with the company.

"The desire to earn more"

reputational technology specialist Alexey Petrov believes that such an answer is trust and understanding. However, according to Roman Portnov, transitions for material reasons can weaken the position of the candidate. Prospective employer may decide that you then entice for the extra $ 100, and again he will be forced to look for a man to this place.

Of course, no one says that these two phrases are code or always optimally suited. But we must remember that when answering this question, it is better instead of phrases with the "not" to use the word "more", "develop", "improve". Sample answer suggests Irina Shevtsova: "I would like to improve their financial situation. In the same place of work, I almost reached the maximum for this company in a different direction, so I want to find an employer who will be useful to my knowledge and skills, and who will be able to assess their true worth. And for me, in turn, will open up new horizons for development. " On the one hand, the essence of the answer has changed little - little pay, no prospects. But it sounds "tirade" much more positive, and the employer is perceived quite differently.

It is best to refrain from answering the strong emotions and focus on the content of the response. According to Director of Training Center of the company "Center of personnel technologies XXI Century" Guli Bazarov, "it is important to show how to relate your knowledge, skills with the expectations of a new job, and what you are missing at the same place."

For example, if you worked for one of ordinary skill positions, and are applying for a managerial position, explain that your organizational skills or skills are not implemented on the past work, but you hope you will be able to develop them in the new location.
