@sarun147 - just answer the question. You don't have to give all of the details (try to keep it positive--no past employer bashing), but don't fabricate the answer, either. Companies can and do check references.
This is an even tougher question for me. I am on a 2 year break from University as I will be hopefully returning to my Masters. I intend to work Part Time during my Masters in the role that I applying for but at some point down the line - say in 4/5 years, I'll probably be leaving that role and career path completely (and not going into a similar path.)
When I get this question, I cannot help feel nervous because my long term objective is not really what they are looking for. Any advice?
Just came back to say that I got invited back for a second interview and successfully did a phone interview with another company meaning I have a first interview lined up with them. Given that I had a couple of really bad interviews before coming across these videos, I am so grateful for the advice in them!

Hi Brian, Could you tell me the appropriate answer to the question, "why did you leave the previous company"?

Be honest. 4-5 years is plenty for most employers, especially at lower level roles.
