The interviewer wants to hear your reason for leaving your last job. It might be that you are choosing a different career path, there were not enough hours given to you, or you are looking for an organization that offers professional growth. Describe your reason, making sure not to speak badly of your supervisor or coworkers. Even if you did not get along with someone at your previous job, it reflects poorly on you if you talk negatively about someone.
