Interview Questions

According to Christan jobs.com The secret to answering this question is to try to avoid negativity. Chances are there is more than one reason you left your last job. But no matter how your last job situation ended, try to keep a positive tone to your answer. If you do mention negative aspects of a previous job, back it up with some positive points as well. If you are too negative about your last job, you may be classified as a chronic complainer or whiner. Remember, your answer to this question will say a lot about your attitude toward your past, present, and future employers
