Well it depends on why you are leaving... I left my job because of better oppurtunities arising and I was looking to move up and accept more challenges.

Answer the question with confidence. Do not give a selfish answer. Frame the answer in a broader way. Do not point out short comings of the company.
You should give two or three reasons for leaving.
Lack of challenge, focus on the limitations etc. Point out your ambition to prove your worth confidently.

Here are a variety of answers. Choose one that pertains to your situation. Good luck!
I found myself bored with the work and looking for more challenges. I am an excellent employee and I didn't want my unhappiness to have any impact on the job I was doing for my employer.
There isn't room for growth with my current employer and I'm ready to move on to a new challenge.
I'm looking for a bigger challenge and to grow my career and I couldn't job hunt part time while working. It didn't seem ethical to use my former employer's time.
I was laid-off from my last position when our department was eliminated due to corporate restructuring.
I'm relocating to this area due to family circumstances and left my previous position in order to make the move.
I've decided that is not the direction I want to go in my career and my current employer has no opportunities in the direction I'd like to head.
After several years in my last position, I'm looking for an company where I can contribute and grow in a team-oriented environnment.

I left my last position in order to spend more time with my family. Circumstances have changed and I'm more than ready for full-time employment again.
I am seeking a position with a stable company with room for growth and opportunity for advancement.
I was commuting to the city and spending a significant amount of time each day on travel. I would prefer to be closer to home.
To be honest, I wasn't considering a move, but, I saw this job posting and was intrigued by the position and the company. It sounds like an exciting opportunity and an ideal match with my qualifications.
This position seemed like an excellent match for my skills and experience and I am not able to fully utilize them in my present job.

Just don't say thay you got borred or that you thought that that company can no longer satisfy your career needs because the new employer might think that you could get in the same mood in his company.
Say something like "I just saw your ad for the job I applied for and I thought that it is going to be a better use of my skills and experience."

This is quite a tricky question. Obviously, no one would be thinking about leaving a job that they are contented and comfortable with. However, you can always say you would want to pursue for more responsibility, more opportunities, the chance to develop new skills and hone the ones that you have.

You should give an answer like, "I don't feel like I am being challenged enough" or "I'm looking for new and diverse opportunities". It never looks good to say bad things about previous employers. It makes you look petty.

That you are looking for better upward mobility...and that you just didn't feel like you were achieving it in the current company.
