Advice on leaving job

    I recently left my work place to go to a new job (the new job promised me a 3 month trial and let me go after 2 weeks), for the reason that I wasn't fast enough. Very unfair as 2 weeks is not enough time to get to know a new place. They also said they didn't know what they were looking for and that maybe they need to pay a higher wage and get someone more experienced. That's no good to me and I let them know this. However, time has passed and I've moved on. Now, when I go for interviews, the next place will ask why I left my job. I don't have the place on my cv that I left my job for, as I don't want future employers to know that I was let go, I'd never get another job! What reason can I give to interviewers on why I left my job of 4 years?? Please help.. Thanks in advance.

    Wanted a change?
    No room for development at previous employment.
    Wanted to future your knowledge from a different perspective.

    Some bull**** that you're trying to change jobs to future your knowledge of the industry basically. Say you had something lined up when you left but sadly it fell through last minute.

    Something that fell through - that is a great reason, thank you. I suppose I don't want employers to think 'well that was stupid, her leaving a job for no reason' you know what I mean.

    And furthering my knowledge from a different perspective - that is great too, cause that's exactly what I want to do and what I can say in the next place I apply to which as I type this, I'm doing a letter now and feeling quite excited (even though I don't have some of the experience). :D Thanks again :)
