When asked about reasons for leaving during an interview, these three reasons must not be mentioned!

Why did you resign

As a "must-have question" for interviews, I believe that those who have job search experience are no strangers. Anyone who has work experience, regardless of its length, will definitely be asked if it appears on their resume. And as an indispensable and even to some extent determining the success or failure of our interview, why is it so important?

The CEO of top headhunting company Heidelberg has given an answer, stating that the essence of an interview is only three questions: "Can you do this job?", "What do you love about this job?", and "Can we work with you.

And one sentence, 'Why did you resign?', can effectively cover these three questions. By combining your answers with the answers to other previous questions, it can help the interviewer quickly determine whether you are the person they are looking for.

So, you must avoid the following three incorrect demonstrations.

Is the logic of coming out to work just to make money wrong?

The logic is correct, but if you behave recklessly during the interview, you are completely wrong.

Imagine, if you were an interviewer and the job seeker sitting across from you told you that the reason for leaving your previous company was due to lack of money, while choosing this one was because of more money, would you be moved by their overly straightforward honesty?

Obviously not. This kind of performance will only make the interviewer feel that you will resign today due to the low salary of your former employer, so if there is another company offering a higher price than ours tomorrow, you will also leave immediately.

This overly purposeful focus on "money" is a minefield for most companies when recruiting, even if you have performed well before, you will be greatly discounted because of this statement.

At first glance, this sentence may not seem wrong and is reasonable, but it cannot be stopped from being scrutinized. A thoughtful interviewer will definitely ask a few more questions——

Why do you feel that there is no development prospect here? "" How do you know that there must be development prospects here

For example, when it comes to development prospects, if you say you are not valued and cannot be promoted, what you want to express is unfairness. However, in the ears of the interviewer, they may not be able to resist thinking that you are not capable enough and not competent enough, so they choose to switch jobs to avoid it.

Plus, if you don't have enough understanding of the interviewing company, make mistakes or can't identify areas where the other party has promising development prospects for you, trust me, it's better to go back and prepare for the next interview.

Some job seekers, when asked why they left, can't help but immediately pour out their frustrations, recounting the various unfair treatments they received in their previous company, including incompetent leaders, poor colleagues, and even worse companies. The negative energy is overwhelming, as if the whole world owes them.

However, having poor interpersonal relationships during an interview is a big taboo. Even if it is really a problem with your colleagues or superiors, as long as you speak out through your mouth and add some negative emotions during the interview, it will not leave a good impression on the interviewer.

Because your interpersonal relationships were not good in your previous company, the interviewer may doubt your ability to handle interpersonal relationships, especially if you can integrate better with the current team in a new environment.

Not to mention, if you express too many negative emotions in this, it will only be a deduction.

1. Know yourself and know your enemy, be more subjective than objective

Why is it not recommended to talk more about blame or dissatisfaction with the objective situation when discussing the reasons for resignation during the interview?

Because some objective existing situations and drawbacks are common to most industries and are not subject to human will, such as limited industry development, business saturation, etc. The same objective problems cannot be solved by changing companies.

So when faced with the question of resignation, one can start from their subjective perspective, identify the core of their reasons for leaving, and combine the attractiveness (to the point) and advantages of the interviewing company to minimize the objective reasons that led to their departure from the previous company. Use the internal drive of personal development to demonstrate their enthusiasm.

For example, you can say, "I have already received sufficient training in my XX abilities in my previous company, and now I want to go to a bigger platform to improve my skills. Through understanding, your company also meets my expectations, so I want to take on a challenge

Combining with reality, an open and honest communication style is necessary for greater persuasiveness.

2. Don't complain, downplay negative emotions

Why do you want to change jobs? It's either because the money hasn't been paid properly or because I feel wronged. If done comfortably, few people will want to find another way out. So this is almost universally known, even if you don't say it, the interviewer knows it.

Under such a consensus, when the interviewer asks the question "why did you resign", it is not to listen to you complain in large paragraphs. More importantly, the other party wants to use this way to see your perspective on the problem, understand your mentality, and judge whether you are a positive and optimistic person.

After all, smooth work and good results often require a good mindset.

Therefore, even if the fault lies with others and you have a lot of negative energy, please hold back and learn to pull yourself out of negative emotions. Only by looking at the problems positively from the perspective of a bystander can you show your optimism and positivity and your ability to resist pressure.

For example, if your company is under great performance pressure and even affects its income, you can answer: "the company may have some problems with its capital chain recently, and we are also trying to solve them with our boss, but at the same time, I also want to give myself more protection and see better opportunities outside."

3, be grateful and praise your old club appropriately

For every company, in addition to valuing the ability and loyalty of employees, employees who know how to be grateful must be a plus.

Although everyone resigns for one reason or another, even if they are unhappy, most of the time we have to admit that the time spent in the company, no matter how long or short, must be rewarding and growing.

Praising your old employer appropriately is also praising yourself to a certain extent, and it can make the other company see that you are grateful. Such candidates are competitive.

You can boast like this: "In fact, the working atmosphere of the former company is very good, and everyone can learn and grow a lot by helping each other. However, because XXX of your company is especially attractive to me, and I also have plans to further improve my development, I decided to give it a try."

Have you learned the above three principles? Remember to combine your own situation and practice it in advance before the interview. I wish you all a successful interview!
