No opportunity for growth. You thought it would be a growth opportunity but there was just no place to go.

Try to be honest, but positive at the same time. If you're leaving because you hate the actual work, you could say your current position wasn't challenging enough and there weren't any opportunities for growth at this time. You'd like to continue to grow and develop.
If you're leaving because of the people, you could say you're leaving because you'd like to find a position that's more personally fulfilling, and believe this position will afford you that opportunity.
If you're not sure, you could say you came across this position, and it was such a great professional opportunity that you just didn't want to pass it up. Your skills are a great match for the position, and you'd benefit the company by bringing X skills.
Just remember that you're selling yourself to the new employer, and need to show the value you will bring to them as an employee. You don't want to sound negative.
Also, don't include this information on the resume, but in a separate cover letter.

First, that does not go in your resume.
Second, be honest why did you leave.
Wanted more money... ie. Looking for an opportunity that proved greater carrer growth.
Didn't get promotion... ie. Looking for an opportunity with greater potential for advancement.
Tierd of being the only one doing the work... ie. Looking for a work environment the promotes true team work while still recognizing the contributions of the individual players.
Boss ticked you off... ie. Looking for a work environment that encourages and supports the thoughts and ideas of those doing the work.

You need to be honest with this one, as it can be verified. Since you didn't mention the 'real' reason for leaving, we can't help with the 'creative' writing.
I'd also suggest that you work on your grammar! If your resume reads like your question, you're already at the bottom of the pile.
I don't recommend including a reason for leaving on a resume. If a prospective employer wants that information, put it in the cover letter.

Why not be honest? Were you fired? If so, you should be truthful about that too. The new company can always find out.
Would it be true to say, "I'm leaving my current employer because, although my skills have consistently grown, I believe I need to pursue new opportunities to continue growing professionally." ???
IM me if you want. Best, G

You could say that you felt your skills weren't being utilized to their fullest potential. Or you want to change the direction your career is going in. Or the job you were doing became unchallenging. Or you can say that the job just wasn't motivating for you.

sure thing that a greener pasture is a nice reason but 75% of good players in the field leave their good companies not because of the company itself or some other comapany is buy them out but because of their immediate Boss.
i bet you don't like your immediate boss

Well, that depends. Did you quit, or were you terminated?
I would answer that you are leaving to pursue a more challenging opportunity that will utilize your current skills and allow you to grow.

depending of the real reason... it's better to tell something close to the truth.
If you create a whole new story, it could hurt later...
I enjoy sooooo much working at home !
