One of the questions that is typically asked in an interview is "Why are you leaving your job?" or, if you have already moved on "Why did you leave your previous job?" How you craft your answer will depend on whether your leaving was voluntary. Since you are likely to be asked, it’s a good idea to prepare an answer that casts you in the most positive light.
面試中常問到的一個經典問題是“你為什么要離職？”，或者如果你已經離職，“你為什么離開上一份工作？”你如何回答這個問題取決于你的離開是自愿與否。既然你可能會被問到，那么提前準備答案是個好主意，能把你置于一個積極的立場。

Practice your responses so you sound positive and clear about your circumstances and your goals for the future.
練習你的回答，這樣會使你的情況和未來規(guī)劃聽起來積極且清晰。

Don't Badmouth Your Boss
別說領導的壞話

Regardless of why you left, don't speak badly about your previous employer. The interviewer may wonder if you will be bad-mouthing his company next time you're looking for work. I once interviewed a person who told me that her last employer was terrible. They didn't pay her enough, the hours were awful and she hated the job.
無論你為什么而離開 ，別說前任雇主的壞話。面試官也許在想你會不會在下次找新工作時說他們公司的壞話。我曾經面試過一個人，她告訴我她的前任雇主很糟糕。他們沒有付給她足夠的薪水，總是加班，她討厭那份工作。

That company happened to be my company's biggest, and most important, customer. And there is no way I would have hired someone who felt that way, justified or not, about our valuable client. So, she gave up any opportunity of getting the job as soon as she answered the "Why did you leave?" question.
那家公司剛好是我們公司最大、最重要的客戶。無論是否合理，我絕不會招聘對我們重要客戶有如此看法的人。所以，她一回答“你為什么離開？”的問題，就放棄了一切得到工作的機會。
