The Secret to Answering "Why Did You Leave  Your Last Job?"  

 "Why did you leave your last  job?" The question can strike fear in even the most confident candidate.  Whether your answer is simple or complex, being asked to talk about it puts you on the spot, and it can be tricky to balance the truth while still painting yourself in the best possible light to your hopefully-soon-to-be employer. 

But, it doesn't have to be as painful as you might think, aside from wanting to know that you're not a flake, your interviewer is asking this
question to find out why you're interested in the opening. So, there's an art to formulating your response that'll enable you sail through smoothly and come out ahead (even if the circumstances were a bit dicey!). Here's how to craft an expert answer.

Be Honest, Stay Positive, Keep it Short, Focus on the New Job

The Carbon Tax

The Carbon tax, will you lose your job because of it ??

let us know if you do, and we will start a movement on your behalf.

Strengths and weaknesses, we all have them

We all have strengths and weaknesses, we love to tell everybody about our strengths, but we hide our weaknesses.

This in its self.. is a major weakness, and not a good trait for a prospective employee to display..

Recruiters need to know what your weaknesses are, because if you get the job, your new employer needs to know how to manager you.. thats if you want the job to be long term and satisfying.

If you don't want to be honest, and you only want a short term job..  keep your weaknesses to yourself.. 

Our advice... admit your weaknesses..  and enjoy your new job, it only takes 3 weeks before your weaknesses are exposed.

 

 

 


Dont fudge your resume

There has been an increase of "fudged"  details in resumes just of late.

The majority of "fudged"  resumes appear to be coming through professional resume writers, and the Government employment scheme, ie: the free recruitment agencies.

Employers are now more suspicious of professionally prepared CV's, and will ask you if you CV has been prepared by a third party.

If you are using a resume writer, or one of the "Free" Recruitment agencies, do not let them embellish your CV. 

Any fudging will be picked up and used against you by an employer. 

Obtaining employment through the use of false information can be used as grounds for dismissal.
