    This one of the top 5 dumb, repetitious questions that don't matter. Are you leaving because you have outgrown the position and need a challenge? Tell them. Don't make it about compensation or benefits. Are you ready for the next step in your career? Do you want to make a difference? Make it about the company (due diligence) This company has something your current company does not.

    Be honest, but as brief as possible, with an emphasis on learning about how to improve. Example: "I was let go for dropping the ball on the customer account, however since then I have taken a course in time management and have reorganized my personal life to ensure that something like that never happens again." Or, "I had an interpersonal conflict with my boss. Since then I have grown as a person through reading (anything by Tony Robbins) and have taken personal responsibility for my actions and can say I will not have those kinds of problems again"
