How do I answer the interview question “why are you looking for a job change?”

blog

Interviewers asked this question because they want to make sure you are not leaving for wrong reasons, such as poor work performance or bad working relationships. Based on my observations, most candidates are looking for career progression when they switch jobs, so good answers to this question would be “seeking a better opportunity”, “seeking career growth” and “seeking more work challenges”.

An additional tip here: If the job you are interviewing for offers career growth and more work challenges, you should definitely highlight that these are the things you are looking for.  You can also point out how your skills and experience would be a good fit for the team and business.
