Bangalore: What is the reason to leave your last job? This is the most common question an interviewee faces at the interview if it’s not his first job. If you have gone through the same circumstance at any time during your professional life, you would have been successful to answer that question or sometimes you would have lost your opportunity to be successful in answering that particular question.

This question is even more difficult to answer when you are fired or laid off from your earlier company. You may not be able to give the factual answer at the time of the interview with the fear that the response may be negative and you may lose your opportunity of getting that job or even you may be embarrassed. There may be many reasons for you to get fired; it can be because of your poor performance, breaking the policies of that company etc. So, how will you answer such a type of question when you are actually fired from your old company?  Here are few suggestions to answer that question more effectively to get positive results.

Never talk negative about your old company:

Avoid answering negatively about your old company for the reason they had fired you. This may put the new employer in dilemma whether to take you to their company or not, because they may feel that you may not be the right person to rely upon. They may think that you are not the right person to work with. They may also reject you for the reason that you cannot be trusted for 100 percent dedication to the work.
