The Ultimate AI Prompt To Answer Why You Left Your Job

This AI prompt will help you answer why you left your job. While we’re living in tough times where layoffs are happening all around us, that doesn’t make it less difficult to answer the question. Feelings are high when our livelihood is threatened, and our future is uncertain. Yet, interviews are not the best place to vent our frustrations and bad mouth our previous employer! Instead, we need to focus on what we can offer to our potential next employer.

But how can we do that when feelings are high, and you’re still unsure of how to answer the question best?

The Ultimate AI Prompt

While you can state that you felt gutted when they gave you the news about being redundant, what you want is to flip the script. Don’t dwell on what happened. State the facts and quickly go into what the employers want to hear: how good you are and how well you would fit in the role.

Not Just Any Job

This AI prompt will help you draft an answer that will sound professional. You want to focus on what you can do for the potential employer (your transferrable skills) and make it clear that you’re not just looking for any job! Instead, you took your time and thought carefully about your next career move.

The Layoff Reason 

Layoff reasons can be many: offshoring, downsizing, cost-cutting, automation, bankruptcy… In all these cases, companies “deprioritize” parts of the company. It could be a small group of people or many. ChatGPT can help you order your thoughts and quickly go from what happened to what you can do for them.

Tailored to The Job Role

The answer to why you left your job should be more or less the same wherever you go. However, not all job roles focus on the same set of skills. Hence, getting some help on how to answer this question best is key to feeling secure when the interviewer throws it at you.

Double-Check The Answer

This AI prompt will help you draft answers. However, you still need to make the answer yours! Don’t take ChatGPT’s answer as a gospel! Besides, you need to check for inaccuracies and hallucinations. Then, you can practice your answer with friends or in front of a mirror.
