This question aims to assess what your circumstance might reveal about you as an employee. If you are testing the field, while considering leaving your current employer, they'll be curious about how committed you are to your current employer, and gauging how serious you are about joining another team elsewhere. Your motives for leaving your job could be just as revealing. If you quit your job before lining up another, this could speak to poor planning, quitting before you were fired, or lessened professional worth. If you were laid off or let go, that could reveal its potential red flags.

When speaking, try not to speak too fast and moderate your tone. Speaking too fast could make you come across as seeming nervous. When speaking more slowly, you'll come across as relaxed, like an equal speaking among your peers. Also, make sure you choose your words. Spend some time looking up terms which you feel are best applied to you or are part of your vocabulary. Use professional adjectives to describe yourself and your situation, such as career focussed, ambitious, persistent, genuine, patient, enthusiastic, disciplined, and passionate.
