They also say that their skills are enough only for this definite kind of job and that it was hard to work at the previous workplace.


2) You all are strange

2It is a way easier to blame someone else than accept your own fault. You shouldn’t blame the collective of your previous workplace. Your potential employer will more likely think that the problem is actually you. And of course that he/she will not want the situation to repeat at their company.
