Step 1: What They Want To Know

What they want to know is what you have learnt about yourself in the process of looking for a new job, and what you are hoping to gain by moving companies.

Step 2: What They Don't Want To Hear

They don't want to hear you slagging off your boss, company, products, colleagues or focusing on the very negative aspects.

Step 3: What They Do Want To Hear

They do want to hear you focusing on the benefits of a move and what you are looking to get out of a move. Make it very positive. Focus on the benefits, opportunities and development.
