crazy monkey SG because ppl always give advice tat dun say bad things abt previous employer during interview but i quit because it sux
launtpc SG During interviews, no. The interviewer might think that, WTF, this guy is not good as he cannot take the lying down. Then off you go, no job.
crazy monkey SG anyway i cant think of more diplomatic answer for " reasons for leaving previous job "
Honeybunz SG I only say bad things about lao heow. She retrenched a 50+ year old staff cuz she finds her old. But she forgot she's also 50 liao.
Honeybunz SG Usually I put there as "For better offer" Anything you can think of lah. Go study or holiday also can. As long as they sound convincing and most imptly diplomatic. No employers will like interview candidates complain about previous job.
Honeybunz SG ehhh... usually the box on the job application form to write "Reason for leaving" is very small one.
crazy monkey SG you say " for better offer " they sure ask you why is it better end up still the say thing
Honeybunz SG Then you anyhow say lor.... like "Oh the new job pays better" "New job has 21 days of annual leave, the old one only 14 days" Anything also can say lah.
renorenal SG What about reasons like wanting to change different environment to venture deeper and learn more new things...
Honeybunz SG Can also. Cuz some ppl do change job when they run out of new things to learn in the old job. I left my first job for that reason too.
nismoS132 SG The limited opportunities available at my previous occupation prevented me from achieving my fullest potential as a **. *the new company will enable me to work to the best of my capabilities, which in turn will benefit the company.
