If asked in an interview why i want to leave my present job. And the main reason is cos the pay is too poor. I know I cant say that, so what can I say?

DEAR nairanlanders, pls what r your views?

You have to say something positive about u wanting new challenge blah blah blah plus u knowing for a fact that the skills/experience gained whilst working for so so and so will be best put to use for the new company because you belive they are a world leader in their field and their is room for further development.
You can also add somethin like, you prefer to look at the package rather than the salary as you are more into the challenges the job has to offer.

If you do get the job then it becomes a lot safer to negotiate salary as if they really like you, they will pay what u r worth

u can say u're looking forward to higher challenges with a more reputable firm,
