Going 4 interview 4 the same job doing now Asked why Im leaving the former orgn To me its salary Give best ans

Question

Am an Accountant in the Govern. I have been invited for an interview in another organization for the same job. However, the reason for me to leave is the advantage of salary. I get less than what is at stake at the new organisation. I know during interviews I cannot tell the board that I want to leave because you are offering gud remuneration package.

So, I want to have the best reason that can convince the interviewers so that I am considered.

Answer 1

If any of these ring true for you, and you can substantiate or give example(s), try:
You feel there is greater opportunity for future advancement with this new agency.
You feel there is greater opportunity for you to develop and practice your skills and talents at this new place.
You appreciate the goals and 'values' represented by this company.
You are interested in being part of the team there (for whatever reason you may know of that's appropriate).
Best wishes.

Answer 2

Technically, you can say whatever you want. The real trick is in saying it in such a way that doesn't make you sound bad. If you're leaving your last job because of salary then you could say "I decided to seek opportunities with companies that had a more aggressive compensation package that is more consistant with the labor market." This essentially means that the last company you worked for was cheap and didn't pay you what other companies pay their workers.

Be careful about simply choosing answers that sound good or "right". If you give a reason that can be verified by contacting your last employer, they may make that contact in which case any lies would be made obvious and you won't get hired. Additionally, if you give a reason like lack of promotion opportunities then you may find that they have higher expectations of you than you're willing to meet. Most employers have a probationary period for new employees and if you don't meet the higher expectations you set for yourself you may end up losing your new job.

The best advice I can give is to look at the truth behind why you left / are leaving your last employer and find a way to say it that puts you in the best light. Also start thinking about how to answer the "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?" type questions. Good Luck.

Answer 3

Here's one:

"While I appreciate the amount of career development opportunities I have had with my current employer, I believe that a change is required for me to continue to make progress on my career goals. I feel that your organization is an excellent fit for making that happen."

Be prepared with a non-monetary goal to mention if they ask what your goals are.

If you do decide to say it's about money, be sure to point out that you are a hardworking professional who desires to be fairly compensated for the value you bring to an organization. And while you appreciated the opportunity with your current employer, you felt that the compensation package did not keep up with the amount of value you added to the organization. This keeps you from seeming to "bad mouth" your current job. But it can also be a bonus because it lets the new company know where you stand on compensation issues after you are hired. If you act like money is not important to you, it will not be important to them either (for future pay raises, promotions, etc).

Answer 4

Well, they will want to know if you will stay in this job and work hard.

So forget about all the formulic answers, just tell them something to convince them that you want this job.

For example. You might say that you like the work that you do, and this job is similar, so it is not going to be a problem for you to do it.

You might mention distance, atmosphere, career opportunities (government might be stable, but slower to promote).

But hey, if you like your job and you are good at it, then they will want you to come and work for them. That is why they offer the salary they do, to get the best people. Don't you deserve this pay rise?

Would you give the job to someone who came to work for you who was good at their job, liked it and wanted more money than their old job.

Answer 5

You can tell them that you see more promise and growth in the company and that is really attractive to you.
