Interview Question? How do you like you current job?

Question

I am currently working in a production area. Right now, I am looking for an IT and I have all the necessary certificate and training to get an entry level. If they ask me on an interview like "Why are you leaving your current job or how do you like your current job?", can i say that I dont like it and prefer to work more on computers coz that's what I want and have fun with?

Answer 1

You can say that you worked hard to get training and certification for IT because that is your primary interest and now you'd like to use your knowledge. I wouldn't directly say anything about the current job. If they insist on a response (which they won't) you can say the job doesn't meet your primary interest and that is why you want to leave it and pursue this job.

Answer 2

While they are looking for honest answers, they are also looking for loyalty at the same time. It won't look good to bad mouth your current employer, even though you are looking for a new job, no matter if you like the job or not, or you like your boss/coworkers or not. You can bluff your way through the answer without sounding like you are lying.
As far as the answer to why you want to leave your current job, tell them you are looking for something that is more of a challenge, and more along your lines of training and interests. Everyone knows when someone is looking for a new job, it's because they want more money or better benefits, or full time rather than part time employment, so you need to stand out from everyone else as to why you want the job you are interviewing for. Good luck!

Answer 3

You can let them know that you are looking for a job in which you can use your many talents to the benefit of both yourself and your employer and something that provides long term employment in which you have an opportunity to advance within the company. Or something like that :)
Like the others have said no matter what you say DO NOT EVER SAY ANYTHING NEGATIVE REGARDING YOUR CURRENT OR PREVIOUS EMPLOYER :)
Good Luck!!!

Answer 4

I would never even hint at negativity towards an employer or job. Put a positive spin on the question--say what it is you DO like about the job, and that you are ready for more of a challenge.

Answer 5

You can say that, but the WAY you say it is important. It's great to tell them that you are really looking to change fields, and that you love computers. But be careful not to say that you don't like your current job. Many employers are wary of dissatisfied employees, because we all know that someone who is dissatisfied in one place is more likely to be dissatisfied somewhere else.

Say your current job is ok, but that you're really interested in something you'll enjoy more - computers.

Answer 6

tell them that you wanted a career change..and that you have your certificate and training for IT work...
that you decided to do IT work because you enjoy it.. you excell in it and you wanted the challenge of a new field.
ask them this question: why is the job i am being offered open?. is it a newly created job?.or was the prior person promoted..did they quit or were they fired?
that's a very good question to ask......

Answer 7

I'm leaving my old position so that I can work here.

yes, I like my current job, but I am ready to expand into something more challenging, something that will take advantage of my skills and knowledge.

Answer 8

You could say that you are looking for more of a challenge, and that you would like to learn more, but don't criticize your current job.

Answer 9

Say that you are leaving to get a job that is more focused in the area you want to be in. Don't badmouth your current job, just be diplomatic about it.

Answer 10

You can definatly say that you want to work with computers more since that is something you enjoy. Mainly they are looking for why you want to work for them and to see how loyal you are. Do not bad mouth your boss or co-workers or working conditions. Try to say positive things about the change.
