I had a recruitment company phone me about a job I applied for and she asked why I wanted leave. I told her “I know you’re not meant to say this but I don’t really get along with my boss” and instantly knew I’d made a mistake.
She told me, no, you have to spend a lot of time with your boss so you need to obviously get a long with them but I know it probably didn’t look good.
What should I say next time I’m applying for positions? Say the role really isn’t for me? I’m not a best fit for the company? What are you meant to say!?
Edit: I should mention the reason I don’t like my boss is because she really micromanages my work and I find it really irritating, right down to my font size, formatting of everything I do and what to say in emails. She has had extremely high expectations of my job from day 1 and makes me feel stupid if I do things wrong which makes me make more mistakes because I’m constantly overthinking.
I find it very stressful and like a relaxed work environment and it just isn’t working for me.
