Leaving one job to another can be challenging. In order not to give a bad impression about yourself or your previous job, here are six questions you should look out for and how to answer them.1.How much do you want to be paid?
Find out the appropriate wage range for your job. Then give a number a little higher than that range to give you room for negotiation.2.What did you make at your last job?
This question is quite uncomfortable. But you can easily say your previous company asked you not to disclose that figure when you were hired. Better still, you can give a range. Remember to be truthful because the employers can always check.3.What are your strengths and weaknesses?
Don't pull the strength as your weakness card. They won't fall for it. Instead, talk about something that is actually a weakness and how you are trying to fix it. Try something like, "I used to get nervous about calling up clients, but then I realized that the more I did it, the easier it became." Putting your weakness in the past (and showing that you took care of it) demonstrates that you're willing to change and grow.4.Did you get along with your old boss?
Let us say your old boss was really horrible, painting a true picture of your “horrible boss” might get your interviewer freaked out and will think you can do the same to him or her when you are hired. So when asked the question, just say yes and move on.5.Why are you leaving your job?
Never complain or criticize something that happened in the past at your job. Try saying something like, "It's not a good fit and I want a new challenge." Then drop it.6.How did you overcome a challenge at work?
Don't be vague. Give a concrete example like, "I was given a giant project at the last minute." Then describe how you tackled it (pulled a few late-nights, recruited help from fellow employees, etc.) and what the outcome was.Watch out for these six questions and make sure you have your facts right!
