Answer 1

You are entering the NBA draft....

Answer 2

you simply put currently employed. you interviewee will ask you why you want to leave and you tell them what your reason is, more money, that you feel that you have grown out of that job and need a challenge. etc... be honest but professional. as soon as you are hired by a new company let your current employer know never burn your bridges. most employers that pay min wage reailize that they will have a high turnover because they lack incentives to keep employees. let your interviewee know that you really enjoy your current position and also that you will need to give sufficient notice to your current employer. if you are stepping into a good position your interviewee will respect your behavior and reailize that you will give them the same courtesy. if the interviewee doesnt then it is probably a position that you may regret accepting. weigh your options is more money worth leaving a decent job for or wait for another opportunity.

Answer 3

Whenever I review applications, I am always impressed with the prospect who is looking for opportunity at my company and to advance themselves. So, I prefer an answer like, "Seeking opportunities for advancement" over "looking for higher wages and better benefits". They say the same thing, but the former is more professionally said. I also like to see applicants who slip in a compliment like, "Seeking a more challenging position to better use my knowledge, skills and abilities." Hope these suggestions work, Good Luck.

Answer 4

Because you are still employeed, you answer "Presently employeed" on the application. You do not tell your potential employer,that you are about to leave the job you have now. This gives the employer a reason to believe you are quitting your present job. Your potential employer,will think you'll eventually quit the job your seeking,and will not concider hiring you.

Answer 5

seeking an opportunity for better compensation...if they ask what you mean you can tell them you work hard at your company now and feel like your not getting what you are worth...If you are worth more than minimum wage, it will show after a couple of weeks at your new job

Answer 6

how about writing something like: left because i am seeking employment at a location where there is more room for advancement or wanting to leave because you want to further your skills or just seeking a better opportunity?

Answer 7

Just put that you are still currently employed here, and are seeking a position more suited to you. GOOD LUCK!

Answer 8

For advancement or For better opportunity. Then be prepared to explain what that means.

Answer 9

Just reply that your current position won't allow you to grow in your expertise and you feel you need a new direction in your career.

Answer 10

just tell them you found a higher paying job

Answer 11

a difference of opinion is one way...also, there was no room for growth in the company is another polite way.
