Why you want to change your job?

Question

it is a common question of a interview
region is money or other thing but what we say?

i have an interview on this monday please give answer
THANKS...............

Answer 1

Because if I don't leave where I am now I'm going to commit Hari Kari

Answer 2

My current job no longer offers me the challenges I need.
I feel I have more to offer and would like to be able to develop both personally and in a more stimulating role.

Never admit to being bored (they'll assume you'll be bored in their job too and be worried you'll leave).
If you mention money, holidays or pension plans in the interview without a good reason they may not be particularly impressed.
Region is a good one, ie, 'the commute was becoming too much of a chore and I wasn't able to give as much as I wanted to my job'.

Or even just admit to being ready for a change, and your current role not giving you the opportunities you crave.

If you're really uncertain about the interview then the best investment you can make over the weekend is in a book by Angela Fagan called 'The Brilliant Job Hunters' Manual', costs about 12 quid but is worth its weight in gold!
It's full of useful advice and tips on interview technique and the dos and don'ts of what to say, wear, do whilst being interviewed.

Good luck!

Answer 3

Research the company (via their website) and job to find out the reasons why you want to join them. During interview, tell them what you like about the job (study your job spec, think of good examples to prove you have the skills) and tell them what you can bring into the new job and how you can add value. Never slag off your curent employer or complain about your current job. Say you have out grown your job and seek new challenges which you think your new company and position can offer.

I know what I'm talking about because I am a seasoned HR Manager. Good luck with your interview and don't forget to smile and be friendly

Answer 4

You could try:-

1) The place I work now has no better opportunities to offer me

2) I know I can do better than my current boss thinks

3) I feel I am stuck in a rut and want to do more with my life than my current employer offers

or some things along that line

Good luck with your interview

Answer 5

Research the company for which you are attending interview, if you are really interested into that company,,dont raise the topic of money and increments until and unless they ask.....say your positive opinions how you colud be useful them....and tell them that learning curve is not so sharp in my current job.....so finally you have to tell them that,,,,that company is all great...bye bye

Answer 6

i cant give that answer but as a tip i was told never to slag off your present employer, cos it looks bad. Maybe you are too ambitious and not satisfied with your present job? you want to further your career and believe this is the place to do it?

Answer 7

you need to be more specific than money - what is the honest answer? answers like you aren't being challenged enough in your current position, or you are looking for a new challenge are popular answers.

Answer 8

To get a chance to make more money, to improve my level of comfort....But then again, it's always about the $MONEY!$ :-)

Answer 9

better working conditions / working envorment, more opportunities for promotion
