But, I did want to put this out there (not saying you are doing it, but for anyone who may take advice from this thread)...

Regardless of how valid your reason is, never bad mouth a previous employer. Never ever ever. You can always find another reason that you left your last job or are looking for a new one. But, keep the drama out of it. Nothing turns off a potential employer like finger pointing, personal issues etc.

I once left a job in tears b/c the manager was such a bitch but I did not tell the next interviewer that. Fortunately, the interviewer was with a temp agency so when I went looking for a permanent job, I could easily tell them I was looking because I wanted permanent employment.





AGREED! Don't do it! This is one of the Top 10 mistakes I see people make. If they ask for an example of something you didn't like, make it seem more like something you just don't prefer rather than something wrong with the company. ("I really prefer a company with open communication. I found it very hard in my last position to initiate communication across departments.")
