Help, I"m not sure what to say in a job interview.

(0 reviews)

So...you're never supposed to say anything negative about former employers in interviews, it doesn't come across well.  But what do I do with the question of why I'm going to be taking a major paycut (most of the positions similar to mine pay much less) to work somewhere else?  The real reason is they've put me in a position where I have to break a variety of laws to do the job as they require of me, and I deeply don't like this.  At first I thought they didn't know and were going to get me the training and such I needed for compliance, but Have since realized nope, they don't want to put a cent into anything and are okay with ordering me to commit fraud on customers now too.  
 

For the life of me I can't think of a reason why I applied for a job with a $5/hr paycut to answer this question that doesn't sound like I'm a dumb flake or is the actaul truth, and I don't think telling teh truth in this case is good for me?  I don' t know.

Dear Bree,

Still would not bad mouth a former employer. Be aware the deep pay cut is well worth it in the long run, as you can live with your conscience, and, sooner or later, their malfeasance will catch up with them!

Karma is real

As for giving a reason, I would make a list of secondary nonjudgemental reasons.

Was a bookkeeper, and I have been in your predicament.

Be proactive in doing thorough research into a company before even applying.

When asked why you left, throw the question back to the company you are interviewing with, stating, I left this company in order to work with a company like yours, and give your reason based on your solid research into the company you are interviewing for.

Hope this helps.

Yours truly,

Monica
