This question is asked to understand your motivations for leaving your previous position and to see if there were any issues or conflict that may have led to your departure.
An effective answer to this question should focus on the positive aspects of your career and highlight why you’re interested in pursuing a new opportunity.
For example, you could say something like: “I left my last job because I was looking for new challenges and growth opportunities. I enjoyed my time there, but I felt like I had reached a point where I needed to take on new responsibilities and continue to develop my skills. I’m excited about this opportunity because it aligns well with my professional goals and I believe I can bring a lot of value to the team.”
It’s important to avoid being negative about your previous employer or coworkers and to instead emphasize the positives of your career journey and why you’re interested in the new opportunity.
