Don't Badmouth Your Boss
別說(shuō)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)的壞話(huà)

Regardless of why you left, don't speak badly about your previous employer. The interviewer may wonder if you will be bad-mouthing his company next time you're looking for work. I once interviewed a person who told me that her last employer was terrible. They didn't pay her enough, the hours were awful and she hated the job.
無(wú)論你為什么而離開(kāi) ，別說(shuō)前任雇主的壞話(huà)。面試官也許在想你會(huì)不會(huì)在下次找新工作時(shí)說(shuō)他們公司的壞話(huà)。我曾經(jīng)面試過(guò)一個(gè)人，她告訴我她的前任雇主很糟糕。他們沒(méi)有付給她足夠的薪水，總是加班，她討厭那份工作。

That company happened to be my company's biggest, and most important, customer. And there is no way I would have hired someone who felt that way, justified or not, about our valuable client. So, she gave up any opportunity of getting the job as soon as she answered the "Why did you leave?" question.
那家公司剛好是我們公司最大、最重要的客戶(hù)。無(wú)論是否合理，我絕不會(huì)招聘對(duì)我們重要客戶(hù)有如此看法的人。所以，她一回答“你為什么離開(kāi)？”的問(wèn)題，就放棄了一切得到工作的機(jī)會(huì)。
