Why did you leave your last job?

The interviewers want to know why you left your last job to see if you were fired, laid off, or gave notice. If you were fired, they want to know if you will admit why you were fired, if you take responsibility, and what you learned from the experience. If you gave notice, they want to understand what you did not like about your job to see if you would fit in with the company culture.

Focus on being direct and honest, and explain why you left your last place of employment. If you gave notice, were laid off, or fired, describe the circumstances behind your leaving. Be sure to end your response positively and tell the interviewers how excited you are to have the opportunity to interview for the position with the NHS.
