Why is it bad?: Talking about how much you hated your former workplace or employer is a top interview "don't!" Always and forever.

What to do instead: It can be tempting to bring up negative attributes about employers or co-workers, but this is not the time to identify that as your reason for leaving. Focus on more positive reasons for leaving which might include a need to reach your full potential or to seek out new opportunities for growth.
