“Why are you leaving your current job?” This is a common question during an interview. How do you answer this without sounding like a jerk? Our friends at themuse.com have some advice for us. Yesterday we covered the fact that you are leaving your job because you want more money. Today, we will look at how to answer the question if you are leaving your job because you do not like your boss. Your boss is a jerk, and you have finally decided to move on. When asked at an interview why you are leaving your job, you should never answer this question with negativity. Go for neutral and end with something positive about your current company rather than your boss. For example, you can say something like, “The leadership was going in a direction than I wanted, and I decided it is time to move on. This was a difficult decision because I really love the mission of the company and the people I work with; however, I know this is the right choice for me.” This answer demonstrates that you are dedicated to a company’s mission and care about the direction of the company. We will have more good answers to “Why are you leaving your current job?” in the days to come so stay tuned! #hiring #recruitment #needanewjob #careerchange

You are ready to leave your job and move on to something different. There are many reasons people leave their current jobs. But, if asked in an interview why you are looking elsewhere, should you really be honest? The answer is yes, but to frame the answer without negativity or bitterness. In the next few posts, we will help you with answers to “Why are you leaving your current job?” Today’s reason for leaving your job is you want more money. Who doesn’t? But, you should not really say that during a job interview. It will make you seem like you have no interest in a company and are just in it for the cash. Employers realize each employee wants to make as much as possible. They are looking for people who will be dedicated and devoted to their company. So, how should you answer the question, “Why are you leaving your current job?” According to themuse.com, you want your answer to be positive and company enriching. Explain that you had the opportunity to develop and grow your skills in your current job, but now you are ready to join a company that will value your skills and allows you to use your skills fully. This answer demonstrates both personal career development and consideration and devotion to a company. Stay tuned for more answers on “Why are you leaving your current job?” in the days to come. And remember, at Kolter Solutions, we are dedicated to matching the perfect candidates to the perfect companies.

Finishing up our series on what to never say during an interview... 21) “Holy Sh*t!” This sounds like a no brainer – never curse in an interview. But, you’d be surprised how many people do. Even if your interviewer drops a few “F” bombs, keep the language business appropriate. 22) “And, that’s it…” You may have the best story to highlight your strengths. But, do you have a perfect ending? There are 3 tricks you can use. First, connect the story to the position or the company. Second, you can bring the story back to the original questions. And third, you can end your story with a question about the company that relates to the story. If you can’t do any of those, the story is probably best left for another time. 23) “Do you know how long this will take?” Never give the impression that this interview isn’t the most important thing in your life. You should be willing to stay as long as the interviewer wishes. 24) “I’m going through a tough time right now.” Don’t play the sympathy card during an interview. The interviewer may feel sorry for you, but it won’t get you the job. Always keep the interview on a professional footing, even if the interview gives you his life story. 25) “Sorry I’m late.” Never be late for an interview. 26) “Sorry I’m early.” Arriving 10-15 minutes early for an interview is good form. But, if you arrive any earlier than that the interviewer will either feel rushed to get to you or guilty that she made you wait. 27) “Would you like to see my references?” Don’t be desperate. You list your references on your resume, and if the interviewer wants to see them, he’ll ask. 28) “I’m just following up, again.” Of course, you should always follow up an interview with a thank you email. That’s it. If you don’t hear back, move on. Following up more than once will make you look desperate. For all your staffing and employment needs, reach out to us.
