Funny answers for leaving the present job
Bangalore: Why are you leaving your current job? This is the most common yet highly tricky question that all of you must have encountered once in your interviews. Your reason for seeking a new job may be out of sheer frustration from your present boss, colleagues, and unorganized work environment. However no company is interested in any of your above reasons, what matters to the HR Managers is how you came out victorious from these issues since there is no surety that you would not feel the same with your next company. No company wants people who continues cribbing and complaining about their job. So whenever you are confronted with such questions in your interview you need to answer positively and tactfully - for instance you can say that you want to work in a more entrepreneurial environment where your potential is explored to its fullest or that you are looking for new challenges. But not all are equipped to handle such situation tactfully, and often the recruitment team faces most hilarious answers from the candidates. Here are some of the funniest answers that we have consolidated from the experiences of the HR teams of different companies when the candidates were asked for the reason of the exit from their current job and we strictly recommend our readers to avoid such answers. In another instance a candidate ended up saying that, "my boss is a jerk who treats me like dirt! I do not want them to think I cannot get along or be a team player so want to change my job to a better one and show them." In one instance when the HR managers posed this particular question on the candidate, he replied saying that he was tired and bugged up of working with some criminals. One candidate was quoted saying that, "I work with a group of dramatic woman and my boss is highly ineffective at curbing the back stabbing, crying, tantrums, and the rest." Another candidate said that he found himself bored with the work and looking for more challenges and that he was an excellent employee and did not want his unhappiness to have any impact on the job. Such answers though funny are not sufficient enough to impress the HR managers hence never bad mouth your present boss and company, instead portray yourself as an asset as this might be an life time opportunity to build your career. So have you ever encountered such experiences, if yes, then do share with us.
