    4: Be positive

    No one likes a person who is, by default, negative. This applies not only to how you approach the interview overall but also to how you refer to former employers as well. If you are willing to cut down your former employers, you are going to be willing to cut down your current employer.

    Interviewers know that a negative attitude can be like a plague within a company. Be positive. If the interviewer asks why you left your former employer, always put a positive spin on the reason.

    Instead of saying, “There was no room for growth in the company,” spin it like this: “I felt as if my skills could be more effectively used in positions that either didn’t exist or were unavailable.”
