If you have a previous job, then dont bad mouth/moan about your previous job (or job you are trying to leave). As bad as it may be and whatever happened, it doesnt look good to moan about your previous place.

Talk about why you want a job with that particular employer.
How would you be as a team member for them.

Don't discuss bad things about any previous employers like what Emma said in reply 1 to you.
If you are asked why you left a particular job then be honest about it but avoid moaning how bad they were.
