| Jul 3, 2016 at 18:33 | comment | added | user41761 | This is why I didn't post an answer. There are a few high rep hiring managers here that will probably give you a much better one. For me, framing my response to show that I actively tried to appropriately better the work environment before deciding it's not a good fit has been a success. People understand that you're not leaving your job because you love it. There's obviously negative a reason. What they're concerned about is whether or not you're the problem, rather than the previous employer. | |

| Jul 3, 2016 at 16:53 | comment | added | user53508 | @TechnikEmpire Thanks for the comment. Actually this is kind of thing that is happening to me in this new job. They don't listen to suggestions at all. However I am afraid that blaming the current employer gives the interviewer a wrong impression. | |

| Jul 3, 2016 at 14:16 | comment | added | user41761 | I've answered this question before by stating that aspects of the company culture were counter-productive, and that some suggestions were made with the intention to help better some of those things. However, when those suggestions were flat out rejected, rather than make waves, you're seeking somewhere that you believe is a better fit. Having your suggestions arbitrarily gunned down is a perfect example of "what specifically was wrong", but of course when you get asked "do you have any questions", be sure to probe about their company culture to complete this answer. | |
| Jul 3, 2016 at 13:23 | comment | added | Relaxed | Is that your first job ever? Are you job hopping a lot? If you have longer jobs on your resume, it's easier, it just shows that you know what you want, are proactive, etc. which can be presented positively (just try to avoid blaming your current employer even if they deserve it, use phrases like “not a good fit”, talk about where you want do be, etc.) On the other hand, if you have never held a job for a long time, then sticking around might be more important (because any prospective employer could be concerned that you will do the same thing again, wasting their time and resources). | |
