What’s the No. 1 reason why someone doesn’t get hired?
The top reason for not getting hired is talking poorly about a past employer in an interview.
We’ve all had bad experiences, but you have to understand that the person you’re interviewing with is most likely to side with your past employer in regard to any bad experiences. If you’ve had a bad work experience in your work history, the first thing to do is step back and really analyze what you learned.

Your interviewer is likely to side with your previous employer when it comes to bad experiences you had.

This is an important step because there’s something positive in that, which you can take to your next employer. When you have an interview for a new position, share the positives with them. What did you learn? How did it make you better? That’s how you want to focus on bad experiences.
If you have to talk about a poor experience, it’s important to touch on it quickly in a positive way, then move on. Of course, you want to share what you’ve learned.
