Has mentioning the reason for leaving the last role being that “ it wasn’t a fit” work for anyone?
The trend goes on. Quit a toxic work environment caused by my superiors and now seeking new opportunities. I like to stay positive in most of any of my conversations when it comes to work but the “it wasn’t a good fit” line sounds super negative even though it’s true !
Has anyone used that line and actually landed the job in this crazy market?
Thoughts and reactions please!
Thank you!

I think you should continue applying for jobs and interviewing as you are not crazy about one of the jobs and it is unclear if you will be offered the other.
If the company less interesting to you offers you a position, you should alert the other hiring manager to let him/her know that they are expecting a response in x days. (No company would expect a response on the spot; it is perfectly reasonable to take time to think about it). If they are truly…

My leader left. He had to find a place that respects his skills and dedication, not here.
I am depressed because of all the uncertainty and lack of support I am experiencing now.
How do you stay motivated and not depressed when so much is out of your control?

Yes. It worked for me. After stating that the position was not what I had been hired for I went on to BRIEFLY explain the three things that made the position intolerable. (Hired remote but brought to the office with no opportunity to return to remote, my abominable commute in a winter state, and an environment contrary to published core values of company). The interviewer accepted my explanation and I did get the job.

Perhaps use this line instead, after much thought about my career trajectory I decided to leave my most recent role to focus full time on finding a position in a company where the alignment with my passion and direction is stronger. I don't think I could give myself the time to truly focus staying there and prefer not to job hunt on a companies dime.

Do people really talk like that? That would appear quite funny coming out of my mouth.

Clearly those are my words not yours, but you should let them know that you quit for focus on your search and not to do it while being paid where you don't want to stay. Simple!
