When answering this question it's important to stay positive regardless of what the circumstances were. Never refer to a major problem with management and never speak ill of supervisors, co-workers or the organization. Keep smiling and talk about leaving for a positive reason such as an opportunity, a chance to do something special or other forward-looking reasons.

"I left my last job because of downsizing within my clinic. I valued the time that I had there but know that everything happens for a reason."
