QUESTION 12 OF 30

Why are you leaving your current job?

The interviewer is trying to learn more about why you've made the decision to pursue new opportunities. Discuss with the interviewer your reason for leaving your current employer, then explain what makes the role at the NHS appealing to you. Maintain a positive and professional tone; avoid complaining about your current or previous company, manager, or team, as hiring managers usually see this as a red flag. Instead, give a more general reason like "I'm looking for more opportunities for growth," "I'm ready to explore new industries and expand my skillset and experience," "I'm looking for a shorter commute, etc., "

"As a recent graduate, this would be my first nursing position. I have done a lot of research on employers in this area, and I was impressed with the size and recognition of the NHS. As one of the world's largest employers, I feel this would be a great place to get established, learn, and grow in my career. The employee reviews were exceptional, and I feel I would be a good cultural fit. I'm excited to learn more about this opportunity!"
