Why do you want to leave where you are presently working? or Why do you want to resign your present appointment if we should consider / employ you?….and is it advisable to laugh during interview

Please answer the question bearing in mind that your answer would be used to evaluate if you would resign the prospective employer’s appointment within a short while

YOU MUST B LEAVING UR PRESNT JOB BECOS THE NEW ONE IS BETTER,JUST BE TRUTHFUL BUT MAKE SURE ITS FOR PASSION AND NOT MONEY. A GOOD ANSWER CUD SOUND LIKE THIS . I WANT TO BUILD MY CAREER IN AWELL ORGANISED COMPANY LIKE URS. MAKE SURE U HAVE READ THE COMPANY'S PROFILE GUD LICK

The idea is to always use the questions as an opportunity to describe your strength and show how you will be more useful for your prospective employer.

I would suggest something along the lines that you feel you are capable of being more productive if given the opportunity but that your current job doesn't seem to afford you that chance, and that the new job would do so. Then you could possibly back it up with an example, e.g. of possibly something you did which was outside your responsibility and the fact that you have not been able to expand such skills.

While I advise you against lying, please resist the urge to provide unwarranted answers at interviews. Your interviewer is trying to evaluate why it would be a good decision to hire you, and thus all your responses should be aimed solely at that objective and nothing else. Any answer that you provide that thus not go towards you being the ideal candidate is a wasted response in the least, and possibly shooting urself in the foot at the worst. Put yourself in the interviewers shoes and give him the answers he wants to hear.
