Good excuse needed for leaving a previous employer.

I already used the travelling excuse to explain another "Career Break".

I can't tell my interviewer that my boss was a complete meglomaniac and I had to leave for the sake of my sanity because I used to have sweats and panic attacks on a Sunday night, because I knew something would go wrong and regardless of who's fault it was I'd get screamed at by a bully.

Thanks,


Dubz

I wish you could be honest, but I know it doesn't work like that. If you hint of chemistry problems, they automatically assume you're the difficult one.

Maybe something like a change in the job description (location or something else unsuitable for you), family crises, need to study… tricky one!


Good luck!

how about change to further your career, looking for new opportunities, gathering more experience blah blah surely that's not a negative thing ?
