1. When asked the reason for leaving your current job, never criticize your present firm, boss, or coworkers. Instead, you can always emphasize your motivation for future career growth.
2. When discussing skills learned at a previous job, try to connect those skills in some way to the job to which you are currently applying.
3. In case you are asked to give your opinion about your current boss/job/company, it is a good idea to be prepared to discuss what your current employer or boss think of you, as well as what you think of them.

A: So what do you hope to gain by leaving?
B: I intend to utilize the skills I learned there, and apply them in my new position. I’m very eager to try out my problem solving skills in a new environment.
