In response to "i think for you wouldn't you say something like 'now that i've been accredited, I really feel it's time to move to a new, more challenging, " by Andie

tis not what i say, but its hard to describe why i am leaving

Posted by tRuMaN (aka Truman) Aug 31 '12, 07:12

i mean, st knows about my boss, mostly.

the reason i have been giving is that "my duties are slowly being taken away from me for no appearant reason. I have had no issues with clients, the owner is just re-asserting control of all client work and restricting my access to clients."

but even saying that, if they ask for more details, its hard to not say bad things.

and even why i succeed, people have said "it sounds like you are very frustrated with your employer"

Responses:

"my duties are slowly being taken away from me" is the equivalent of shooting yourself in the foot. The employer hears "I suck, but don't know it" - TWuG Aug 31, 07:18
see, to me, as an interviewer, i would wonder if your boss was worried about your work and was therefore overseeing. - Andie Aug 31, 07:17 10
- i know, and that is where i have problems. - tRuMaN Aug 31, 07:19 9
  - Why would you ever make someone think you want to go to work for them for *bad* reasons? -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 07:41
  - Don't say anything about your decreasing work load. At all. The interviewer will assume your boss doesn't have faith in you and that it's your fault -- nm - TWuG Aug 31, 07:20 7
    - so far i havent found an answer that seems acceptable, and which doesnt cause more questions - tRuMaN Aug 31, 07:22 1
      - What question are they giving you where you have to answer that your work load is being taken away? - TWuG Aug 31, 07:26
    - this. there is *zero* reason to bring that up. -- nm - Andie Aug 31, 07:21 4
      - yup. You have to weave a scenario, even if somewhat false, to avoid that entirely IMO. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 31, 07:22 3
        
        yeah, i need to work on this, this weekend. -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 31, 07:25 2
        
        Why would you need a scenario to say "I wish to tackle new opportunities that aren't currently available in my office." - Will Hunting Aug 31, 07:29 1
        
        Exactly. -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 07:42
I think you really need to be careful. Tell them your job is stagnating and you want to move forward. but do not complain about the boss. -- nm - loosilu Aug 31, 07:16
