示例回答2：
The primary reason I left Michmuney Company was because the company went through a restructuring and my position was eliminated. Up to that point, however, I had a very good track record and received positive employee evaluations each of the three years I worked there.
我离开公司主要的原因是因为该公司改制，我的位置被取消了。尽管那样，但我之前在公司有非常良好的业绩记录，并获得到了每三年一次的积极员工评估。
Leaving Michmuney actually allowed me to make a career change that I had been thinking about for some time and that is more aligned with my career goals. Although Ive worked successfully in sales for the past several years, my education and my interests are more closely related to marketing. Id like to find a position that would allow me to use my knowledge and skills to do challenging work. This position would also give me more responsibility than I had at my last company and more promotion opportunities. I think that my skills and abilities are a good match for this job.
离开公司事实上可以让我做一次职业改变，这是我有一段时间一直在思考的，并且更加符合我的职业目标的变化。虽然在过去的几年我在销售方面很成功，但我的教育和我的兴趣与市场营销更密切相关。我想找一个让我可以用我的知识和技能做有挑战性的工作的职位。这一职位也给了我更多的责任比我曾在的最后一个公司，和更多的晋升机会。我认为我的技能和能力和这份工作很相配。
