I need some tips on how to  answer " Why did you leave your previous job?" because my previous job was on a contract basis and once the contract has ended, the company has decided to terminate me because there are no projects for this year for me to work on. Thanks!

Hi all,

Recently I encountered this situation in an interview, the interviewer asked me "What do you know about this company?'

I answered base on the information I had (mostly from their website) and inserting my own points as when and where necessary..such as saying that their values are in line with my view, etc (bla bla).

In the end the interviewer just said that I know nothing about the company, that those are things from website.

I mean base on my research, those are mostly the available information I can get, only through their  website. Other information I found is basically is ex-employee lamenting about the company which is all and all standard nothing special.

In this case, how would you answer back or precisely what sort of answer they are looking?

The best 1st Question is always..

"Please tell me about yourself?"

It is a trap..

🤔🤔 are u sure bout tis?. My intepretation for the question 'tell me about yourself' is for the hiring manager to decide if the candidate is the good fit for the role. In another way to phrase it is 'why should we hire you'. Briefly go through the professional experience, both education and work then insert your skills and achievements in between that is tailor to the job itself.

Nehhh..
.
Its a trap question as I mentioned. 😉

What is the best answer for "How do you handle stress?"
