What is the safest way to answer the question, ”Why did you leaveyour previous job?”
Another anonymous question from our Discord community asked how to "safely" answer a common behavioral question about why you left your previous job. Answering this in a "safe" way comes down to deflecting from the reasons you left and focusing more on why you're a great fit for this job at this company. Focus on the value you bring, not on negative reasons for leaving the last job -- even if they deserve it!
