Dear Mr. Karthik,
Your question is really interesting, and our friends have also provided very good suggestions on the same topic. I would like to add that the interviewer is capable of understanding the situation. The best approach is to present the facts truthfully, and there is no need to worry. Winning in an interview is not solely dependent on this question; there are other factors to consider as well. It is important to reflect on why we are considering leaving our current job. If there are any negative aspects, they should be explained briefly, positively, and diplomatically.

Hi all,
Wonderful answers by Pramod B. Raju. Also, I think your question was "WHY YOU LEFT YOUR LAST ORGANIZATION" - that means you have already left the job because of some reason. You can perfectly use the tips given by Pramod.
See that whatever the reason was, it should not be repeated in the next job. It is not important how we get into a new organization by answering smartly in an interview. But we need to survive in that new organization for a period of time where everyone is impressed with our presence/work output. Your case may be of this kind as well; maybe someone else made a mistake, and you got caught up in that. If that's the case - my dear friend, just play diplomacy + with your old experience, maintain distance from such people/circumstances - one of the best skills to survive in an organization.
Anyhow, all the best :) :)

Dear Mr. John,
Last night, I had a discussion with my friend on this subject. He mentioned that, as you said, Behavioral-Based Interviewing questions will surely bring out the truth. By observing the interview hall, a candidate cannot easily showcase their smartness without substance. If a candidate bluffs during the interview, it may indicate their ability to handle various situations in any organization. Most candidates cannot conceal the truth or bluff effectively before the interview panel. If they do, these behavioral-based questions will reveal the true colors of the candidates, ensuring our selection process identifies the right candidate for the right position.
Thank you, Mr. John, for sharing your views.
"I agree that no interview process is perfect, but Behavioral-Based interviewing comes closer to helping us achieve our objectives than anything else right now. Yes, candidates can bluff their way through any type of question, but in an interview situation, you are testing the candidate's ability to prove their worth to you. By prompting candidates to discuss actual situations they have experienced and how they managed them, you gain deeper insights into the individual. Experienced interviewers can often discern if a candidate is being less than truthful. When faced with such individuals, I typically ask follow-up questions about the described situation to expose inconsistencies.
Could you share an instance where you posed such a question to a candidate? What was their response? How did the information influence your hiring decision, and what was the eventual outcome?"
Please let me know if you need further assistance or adjustments.

Hi Karthik,
Pramod has given you enough tips. I just want to add a few words from an HR perspective on what we seek in a candidate during the interview.
We always look for honest answers, a positive attitude towards learning, willingness to go the extra mile to achieve goals, readiness to take on challenging and more responsible tasks, etc. If you describe your work as "hectic" or "routine", they may perceive that you are not prepared for additional responsibilities. Therefore, be mindful when responding to their questions and aim to persuade them. All the best! :)

Dear Friend,
In my opinion, you should stay positive regardless of the circumstances. Never refer to a major problem with management and never speak ill of supervisors, co-workers, or the organization. If you do, you will be the one looking bad. Keep smiling and talk about leaving for a positive reason such as an opportunity, a chance to do something special, or other forward-looking reasons.
I agree with Amol's suggestions.
