You can tell these things too, but these are not compulsory.

Your Hobbies, Hobby is a part of your living, although it might be tempting to share a list of your most compelling qualifications for the job at hand, a more low-key approach will probably help you to develop a personal rapport with your interviewer. Examples might include a hobby which you are passionate about like quilting, astronomy, chess, choral singing, golf, skiing, tennis or antiquing.

Interests like long distance running or yoga which help to represent your healthy, energetic side are worth mentioning. Pursuits like being an avid reader or solving crossword puzzles or brain teasers will help to showcase your intellectual leaning.

Your Address (Not detail one)

Why did you leave your job?
I found myself bored with the work and looking for more challenges. I am an excellent employee and I didn't want my unhappiness to have any impact on the job I was doing for my employer.

There isn't room for growth with my current employer and I'm ready to move on to a new challenge.

I'm looking for a bigger challenge and to grow my career and I couldn't job hunt part time while working. It didn't seem ethical to use my former employer's time.

What did you not like about your last employer?
Start with, "Actually there are a lot of good things to say about my ex-employer, however, if I need to highlight one area..."
I see from your resume that you have never actually been in this role in any of your previous companies. How are you going to manage?

Try to broaden the answer by saying, "We are all faced with a fast moving and changing environment which constantly presents new challenges. I have always been able to rise to these occasions and perform effectively despite tight deadlines and little support."

Most importantly, go on to list examples of similar experiences where you have demonstrated such skills. This should close the issue in the interviewer's mind and paint a positive picture.

Why do you want to leave your current job?
"I enjoy my previous job and as I have demonstrated, I make a solid contribution which is appreciated. However I am looking for more experience, a greater challenge, increased responsibility, and a more dynamic organization that this role offers."

Make sure you have a list of reasons for joining this company.

You need to reply using one or a combination of the following five replies:
Challenge: You need a new career challenge.
Travelling: The commute to work was taking too long or I was constantly being asked to travel with work.
Career: I had reached the likely top and there was no room for advancement until someone else above me left.
Money: You feel you were not being paid what you were worth.
Security: The organization was unstable and my role may have been at risk.

What is your Goal?
 My long-term goals involve growing with a company where I can continue to learn, take on additional responsibilities, and contribute as much of value as I can.

I see myself as a top performing employee in a well-established organization, like this one. I plan on enhancing my skills and continuing my involvement in (related) professional associations.

Once I gain additional experience, I would like to move on from a technical position to management.
