Hi everyone,
I'm stuck, and would really appreciate some help. I qualified in 2020 and spent 3 years at a school then moved on working at an Academy because they offered me a promotion. 8 months on and I could not cope with all the silly rules, being treated like a student, being held up to sky high expectations and given blunt tools to achieve them. I ended up in hospital, and promptly handed in my notice. I now have a job interview, and have no idea of what to say when they'll ask me the fatidic question "Why do you want to leave your current role?". The job I've applied for is a part-time position, but how do I explain why I want it? I left my first school because I wanted a promotion, and 8 months later I decide that I want to work part-time?! I've a feeling that they'd see it as a red flag. Do you have any advice? Happy to provide more details.
