Here's how you can handle the question "Why did you leave your previous job.

It really depends on what the actual reasons are for why you left your last role but some of my clients have used the following 3 ways to answer the 'why did you leave your last role' positively: - Skill Development: "I wanted to develop new skills and gain experience in a different area of my field that wasn't available in my previous role." - Pursuing Passion: "I wanted to pursue a role that aligns more closely with my passion for [specific field or industry], and I am excited about the opportunity to do that here." - Positive Change: "I was ready for a positive change and new challenges that would allow me to leverage my skills in innovative ways."

1. Pursue New Opportunities: Left to seek new challenges aligning with career goals and personal growth. 2. Career Alignment: Aiming for a Director role in Global Safety and Pharmacovigilance Operations, focusing on process, quality, and compliance. 3. Skill Utilization: Wanted to leverage extensive experience in Drug Safety/Pharmacovigilance, Quality, Regulatory, and Medical Affairs Operations at a higher level. 4. Leadership Development: Sought a role allowing for greater leadership and independent decision-making. 5. Process Improvement: Interested in roles offering opportunities for large-scale process improvements. 6. Professional Growth: Desired to continue growing professionally and make a significant impact in a new organization.

When asked why you left your previous job, it's essential to maintain a positive tone and focus on growth and new opportunities. Here’s an effective way to respond: "I left my previous job because I was seeking new challenges and opportunities for professional growth that align more closely with my career goals. While I valued the experience and skills I gained at my last position, I am excited about the potential to contribute to and grow with your organization, which I believe offers the right environment for my continued development."

Be honest without oversharing. One way to phrase your departure is something like "my goals and values were no longer in line with the organization." Just be prepared to back that up with some positives that don't cast your employer in a negative light. For example: - "I was ready for an environment that was pursuing innovation & had been working in a very traditional setting." - "I had learned so much & was ready to apply that learning to new challenges." - "I wanted to create some space for those I had hired to be promoted. They didn't have anywhere to go as long as I stayed!" Regardless of why you leave, if you are struggling to line up with the organization's values, it's time to go. Just be smart in how you talk about it.

If your company had a reduction in force and your job was eliminated, be sure to say you were one of many whose job was effected. Say with neutral emotion "the company made a business decision that effected my job and # hundreds of others which leads me to you for this interview. (then positive, uplifting tone of voice) I'm excited to be considered for this job and to work for your company.
