Terry: Tell me about the circumstances around your leaving your last job.
Dana: I felt as though my competencies were not exactly the right match for the previous employer’s needs, but I definitely feel like they’d be an excellent match for your organization.

Q2. Why did you leave your last job? – DANA QUICK RATING – B

This Guide will help you with samples and complete how to answer training for even more questions you face in your job interviews.
