This question aims to asses on what terms your employment was severed, amicably or acrimoniously, and on what conditions you severed your employment, primarily whether you were fired, quit, laid off, are still working there and if so why you're looking for employment elsewhere. When your words don't match your gestures, it's your gestures that will be seen as the truth. Also, if there are any reasons which could be interpreted as defamatory towards your team members or team leaders, they'll assume you'll have those same issues wherever you go. So try not to reveal anything that could paint you in a negative light.

Focus on the positives. Maintain eye contact and confident body language, be comfortable, and speak from the heart. Avoid burning bridges and showcase your professional gratitude for how your previous workplace helped you get to where you are today. Share what you learned from your previous position while exhibiting emotional maturity. Focus on your career, or any logistical reasons that led you to pursue this opportunity.For example, if you've outgrown your position and aren't advancing your career as swiftly as you'd like, and have no choice but to look for career growth elsewhere, this reveals dedication to your well formulated career plans.
