Moving -new job-what to say in the interview? |
need advice, i need to get out of the job im at. I like the nature of the job, but the organization is crap and they treat us like slaves. The caseloads are too big as well. I have 100 patients, im a social worker in a county nursing home. its a 800 bed facility. anyway, im looking for jobs and im moving soon. Am i allowed to say that im looking for new jobs because im moving into the area? Also when they ask me why i want to leave how do i tell them the truth without being negative? I cant just stay, they treat us like crap. Do i say something else, such as "i feel i need to grow career wise" The job im at now , its my first job out of school, i have been working here for 9 months. No one tells the whole truth in an interview. You can tell them you are leaving for any reason you feel comfortable with. I think you are on to a good line of explanation. Tell them you like your current job but due to some life event you have having to move to their city. This takes care of the fact you are looking for a new job after only 9 months and you do not have to say anything negative about your current employer. There will be some people who tell you that you need to tell the truth in an interview. My experience on both ends of interviewing and being interviewed is that most people do not tell the whole truth. Now lying about your schooling, lenght of work experience, or major things will get you into trouble and should be avoided. Depends on the place. If they are generally nice and want you to advance your career then I would just tell them the truth. I think they would understand. If they are not like my current employer(nice and wanted to help me advance), then I will just give them the 2-3 weeks notice when you got your new job. never say anything negative about your former company. always rephrase your answers in the positive. like for example - "they treat us like crap." say something like, "i need to expose myself to new management approaches so i can grow more" and be careful when they ask you to elaborate. in general, it's really just about being positive and having a positive outlook. if you try to look the other side of the coin, change your sentiments, then you don't have to embellish your answers. http://www.bizsum.com/articles/art_what-... Absolutely how far are you moving? I don't think there is anything wrong with that but certainly refrain from being negative about your former employer you can say no room for advancement or too long a commute never be negative. If you are interested I would love to tell you about what i do weather it would be something your interested in doing or a temporary way to make money until you get settled. email me if you want more information Moving is the perfect excuse. If, in fact, your current job will be too far away from your new place, it's the ideal reason to leave regardless of the fact that you don't like the place. Stick to that reasoning and you'll be fine. You don't need to explain anything further than that but if you get an interview somewhere and they ask why you want to leave your current job, if you want something other than the move excuse, simply say you're looking for a change! We live in a day and age when changing jobs is the norm. People don't typically stay in one place for 40 years anymore. check this link its good http://workathomejobssitelist.blogspot.c... . |
