How best to answer "Why did you leave your last job?"

[Mr Happy]

It's a question asked in most interviews, and one that is very difficult to answer without making you come across as a bit of a transient employee.

Of course, if you've left through redundancy, then it's a pretty easy one - but if you've left because your last job took a turn for the worst, or you didn't get on with the role, it can make some recruiters query the likelihood of you sticking around at the role you're interviewing for, possibly reducing your chances of success.

Do the PH recruiters have any tips?

I realise my OP wasn't as clear cut as I intended - I mean in a face to face or telephone interview with the hiring people, not a recruitment agent.
