Interview question and answer

Why did you leave your last job?

If you are still employed, this is irrelevant, but you are unlikely to get off the hook that easily.
They will ask why you want to leave.

If the truth is that you are a lazy git and your boss has made it clear that if you don't change your attitude you are going to be shown the door.
Obviously you are not going to even think about telling the truth are you?


A good answer is something like, "My present position doesn't give me the challenge that I am looking for in a job.
I like to be tested. I work best under pressure.
My present (or last) one isn't demanding enough".

This answer presents you as a go getter, an achiever.
