Best Answer To Etiquette Question
well, if that was the real reason, and I had reason to believe I'd like the job I was applying for and the people I was working with, I probably would say that. I might spruce it up a bit (I would like to work with more serious people, or even more easy-going people; I'm looking for a job that suits my personality better) but it's not like an employer is going to be offended that you say you like their place better!

Answer 9I left my last job because one of the women I worked with turned into a major b*tch.... But you can bet that theres no way I tell that to my interviewers. Luckilly, that job was about 1-2 hours a day so usually my excuse is that there wasnt enough hours. That goes over pretty well.

Answer 13You could be honest say you were uncomfortable for the reasons given. Or without mentioning the "reasons" you could just say you felt limited feel the need to move on to a place with better advancement opportunities. I would avoid "business speak" buzzwords like challenge ,productivity things you think they might want to hear. A good interviewer will look at your credentias, resume try to get a grip on your personality. Try to show some confidence in what you say make the interview about you. Good luck

Answer 15"I went to work one day and realized I had outgrown the job. It wasn't an easy decision, but it was time to move ;
Answer 16honesty is the best policy. nobody is expected to like everyone, except the president.
Answer 17It depends on how long it's been since you left your last job and started applying for new jobs. If it's more than a couple months, tell them you needed a sabbatical or a "breather" to collect your thoughts, take a break from the stress of life, etc. If the time period isn't really all that long (a few weeks or a month), tell them that you wanted a more challenging career, a job that left you room for advancement, a job at a bigger, better company, etc. Tell them your last job didn't meet those criteria and that you're looking for room to grow.
