There are several reasons a person might leave their previous job, and the interviewer wants to know why you left yours. They want to see if you gave notice and for what reason or if you were terminated or furloughed. As with any interview question, be honest in your response, as the interviewer will call your previous employer for a reference. If you were fired, give the reason why and what you learned from your experience. If you made a mistake, own up to it, and explain that it will not happen again.
