Whatever the reason, NEVER tell them it's about the money (though you can't separate money from it). Tell them you have gathered all the skills you could possibly acquire in your current role and there is no more room for motivation - so you have chosen to change jobs so you could experience fresh challenges and put all your acquired skills to use. Let them know you believe your acquired skills/experience would come handy in helping them realize their set goals and objectives. |

Op, you simply say...."ȋ̝̊̅ need a more challenging job, that will bring out the best in you, while producing positive results"...... Don't make the mistake of saying that you need more money, that's enough to tell you off....... |

tell them that the company's goal and vision tallies with your personal objectives of looking for a job that will enable you unleash your great potential to the fullest. thats y u want to change as u could not be able to unleash such a great potential with ur current job. |
Re: How To Answer The Question "Why Do You Want To Change Your Current Job" by mafioso47(m): 10:54pm On Feb 19, 2015 |
Tell them you identify with the goals of the company (Outline the company's goals and mission) and tell them how you like to be part of the company's success story. Try as much as possible not to bring ur previous company into your answer to avoid questions related to pay, conditions of service and all that. This would tempt u to badmouth ur previous company which of cos is a minus 4 u. Good luck! |

ANSWER: “I do enjoy working at my current job. The culture and the people make it a great place to work. But I’m looking for more responsibility with new and fresh challenges. I have worked on and successfully completed several projects from start to finish during the past two years. Currently, advancement opportunities are scarce at my current job. I don’t mind a slow down in pace from time to time, but it’s important to me to keep my career continually moving in a forward direction that is consistent with my career goals.” U can use google 4 more answers plz. Goodluck. |

It's simple. Tell the HR that you're looking for good benefit (Health insurance, Life insurance, 401 K and profit sharing). I got to run. |

If you have gone through all the comments given by some people you would have pictured that “career“ or “skill improvement“ should be your ultimate reason not salary or convienience. Let them know you look for an opportunity to improve your skills and step up in your career while you help the company meet her both short-term & long-term goals. Hope this helps. |

Most generic &acceptable answers: Looking for an opportunity to learn new skills, and i have always had an passion /interest in Bleep industry (Bleep being the industry that the prospective company you applied to operates in) and with you company being a 1. Major player or 2. New entrant i am absolutely ecstatic at the opportunity to gain this experience. I was affected by a general downsizing. Wrong answer: My present employer is a winch My present company is in problem ooo I am unemployed!!! (NEVER EVER EVER EVER SAY THIS!!! except you just finished serving) Manageable answers: I was fired (if spun well works wonders) I am a contract staff so looking for something more permanent and being that i have a keen interest in Bleep industry i was quick to jumpat this opportunity. I resigned 1 Like |
