Although it looks like a simple question, I believe that no more than 70% of people answer this question wrong. So here are 6 examples of simple answers for you:
1. Salary reasons.
“I have done the most of my job at [company] and successfully achieved the objectives I set. Now I need a new challenge to expand my skills and to enjoy the rewards that come with more responsibility.”
2. Structural changes.
“I have valued my time at [company] and am proud of my accomplishments there, but we are undergoing structural changes and many of my projects have been canceled. The recent organizational changes have limited future advancement opportunities.”
3. Change goals.
“I have re-evaluated my career goals and I am determined to find a position that better fits with my long-term objectives and where I can contribute to the best of my ability. This job opportunity will allow me to develop my __ skills while using my __ experience.”
4. Opportunity to grow professionally.
“I feel I have reached the ceiling in my current job and I am eager for a fresh challenge. This job appeals to me because I will be dealing directly with diverse clients and developing my customer-service skills.”
5. JD changed.
“I was hired for a specific position, but over time that has changed significantly and I no longer get the opportunity to use the skills that I was hired for or do the work that I am best equipped for. My abilities are matched to the requirements of this job.”
6. The company is suffocating.
“I have valued my time at [company], unfortunately, the company is currently cutting costs and some members of my department were let go. I can’t see any prospects within the organization. So I think it’s the right time to move on .”
