Hi,
I just want to discuss one thing that I have 16 months of experience in companies. One was an NGO, and the second was a DSA (small unit of Airtel). I worked 13 months with the NGO as an Administrator and 3 months with the DSA as an Assistant HR Manager. I resigned in November because my senior decreased my salary after 3 months, citing that I was not providing proper output to the company. Since November, I have been at home looking for a job.
My question is, what should I tell the interviewer about why I left my job? If I tell the truth, they may also think that I am not the right fit for their company.

Dear Pinki,
First of all, I don't feel proper about your plight; secondly, your senior is not mature because output can be provided in a process way, not haphazardly. To think of output overnight is "foolish". Do tell the truth in the organization interview you attend; at least, they will appreciate your integrity, which is a core attribute.

Hi Pinki,
From your statement, it seems that you are not confident enough to face the situation. There are sufficient reasons to leave your previous organizations. Find the reasons to leave your first company. Be firm on the truth. You left the NGO for a better future prospectus. But here in the second company, you did not explore before joining whether the position is in line with your expectations and your skills. It means you did not meet the expectations of your management.
However, you better prepare for the next interview. You must be clear about the concepts of HR and recent practices in the market and the expectations of the companies. You must clearly state that due to some personal reasons you left the organization, but you must be firm in your stand.
I wish you all the best.

Thank you for your reply. I am confident in making decisions. However, the problem lies in the fact that as he was the HR Manager, he left all decisions to me, which are not right. For instance, he deducts money for PF and ESI but does not provide facilities to employees. Consequently, employees often ask me about these facilities, and I am unable to provide an answer because when I inquire with seniors, they simply tell me to manage it. If he handles everything, then what is my role in the organization?

You just need to forget about the past and concentrate on your future. However, PF and ESI are statutory obligations of the companies that must be met in any case.
Learn the skills of convincing and influencing. Be practical and somewhat diplomatic to handle crucial issues.
HR mantra is: don't make commitments to employees that you are not able to fulfill in the future.

Hi,
I think you can give this kind of reason in any interview, such as:
- For my further study if you have decided or want to pursue it.
- For better prospects.
- For my personal reasons (family has decided to shift), or
- You can tell them the truth, but it may create a negative impression.

Hi,
Look to the future. Stand firm on the reasons for leaving your previous organization. You can cite family issues, health reasons, personal reasons, etc. How you present yourself is crucial in this context.

Dear [Recipient],
Just tell them that your DSA is shifting to some far place, and it is difficult for you to communicate, that is why you left your job. Alternatively, you can say that your manager was transferring you to some far place because there is a requirement for experienced staff. However, it is not possible for you due to the long distance.
Thirdly, you can explain that it was a contractual job. The HR Assistant Manager before you had an accident and was on leave. During his recovery period, you were there on contract, joining to gain experience.
Hopefully, the above reasons will help you a lot.

Hi, My suggestion - You can say that you do not get much exposure there as the manager prefers to do everything on his own. Regards Vipin
Dear Pinki,
I just have some clarification on your post. As you have mentioned that "I am not providing proper output to their company," I want to know whether you were given your Key Result Area (KRA) at the time of joining.
Also, what facilities did your employees ask you about regarding Provident Fund (PF) and Employee State Insurance (ESI)? Please be clear and concise for us to provide you with proper feedback.
Thanks.

Dear Pinki,
If you want to go ahead with a long-term relationship, then be confident and acknowledge the truth. The organization may have processed the background verification from the last employee, and a negative background verification report will spoil your career.

Dear Pinki,
I would suggest that you go with Bhardwaj. It is obvious that you need to be convincing and diplomatic if you want to survive in the market today, no matter where you work. What matters is how you act in the situations.

First things first, don't leave the job and sit at home. Try to find another job; until then, stick to your current job. It is always better to tell the truth because sooner or later, the truth will come out as versions change. Best of luck.
