What is the best way to explain why you left your previous job?

Changing jobs after COVID-19 has become an ordinary thing. A good reason for leaving a job is that you have acquired certain expertise that does not contribute anymore to achieving a higher position. You no longer see yourself matching your long-term goals, so you will be willing to invest in a new company that fits your real outcomes.

Die goldene Regel lautet: Ehrlichkeit zahlt sich aus. Arbeitgeber sch?tzen Bewerber, die transparent über ihre beruflichen Erfahrungen sprechen. Ein authentischer Einblick in die Vergangenheit erm?glicht es potenziellen Arbeitgebern, realistische Erwartungen zu setzen und besser einzusch?tzen, wie gut der Bewerber zur Unternehmenskultur passt. Dennoch ist Vorsicht geboten, um nicht in einen negativen Tonfall zu verfallen. Selbst wenn die vorherige Arbeitserfahrung nicht optimal verlief, ist es wichtig, konstruktiv zu bleiben. Statt sich auf die Schwierigkeiten zu fokussieren, k?nnen Bewerber den Fokus darauf legen, was sie aus der Situation gelernt haben und wie sie sich weiterentwickelt haben.

It depends on which level you are in your career goal. But for me staying in any job means maintaining: - The balance between work and personal life. - The balance between what costs you for being at work(money wise) and your salary. - The balance between what you know/can do and the position and the job description. - The balance between your mental health at work and your other responsabilities. - The balance between you health and the job needs. And of course sometimes, even if you don't have all of that, you stay because you don't have time to search for another job.

In my experience, the best way to explain why you left a previous job is to focus on professional growth and alignment with your career goals. I sought new opportunities to expand my skill set and take on more challenging projects. During interviews, I've found it helpful to emphasize the desire for a role that aligns better with my long-term objectives and allows me to contribute meaningfully. Avoiding negative remarks about the previous employer and expressing gratitude for the experiences gained can leave a positive impression. This approach highlights a forward-looking perspective and reinforces the idea that your decision to leave was driven by a commitment to personal and professional development.

Highlight a lot of your achievements, better yet, quantify them if possible. Here's another hot take, if you're not in a technical role, do not excessively highlight your skills. Both hard and soft skills can be evaluated either during the interview or assessment. So it's highly unlikely to fake whether you're good at certain skills.

From my experience, it's usually good to stick to these reasons when explaining why you left – at least one might resonate with your situation. ???????????? ??????????????????????: "I left for new challenges and growth opportunities aligned with my career goals." ?????????????? ??????????????: "Departed due to company restructuring impacting my role." ????????-???????? ??????????????:"Left to find a better work-life balance." ?????????????? ??????: "Seeking a better cultural fit for my skills and values." ?????????? ??????????????????????: Left to pursue further education and skill enhancement."
