Which is right?
 
Kind of confused. Please, Can anyone explain the difference to me ? or are both of them right?
- Could you tell me where was your last job?  (this is the one I saw ina n interview)
- Could you tell me where your last job was?   ( Is this right? why or why not?)
 
Apologies for your time and thanks a lot.

Grammatically, the second option is correct, as it deals with an indirect question / reported question.�

I agree with Gi2gi.  The second option is correct.  The only way I could see the first option being correct is if there were a pause: Can you tell me...  Where was your last job?

In a video about job interview questions they included the first option as one of the many possibilities to deal with.  Thanks for your responses.
