(2) WHY DID YOU LEAVE YOUR LAST JOB?
Stay positive regardless of the circumstances. Never bring up a major problem with management and never badmouth supervisors, co-workers, or the organization.

Talk about the details that relate to the position you are applying for. If you don’t have specific experience, get as close as you can.
