  • Answer:

    It might be easier to answer if we knew why you actually are leaving. There are lots of reasonable answers to this question. Potential good answers: - I am looking for a position where I can further expand my skills - I am looking for a position which offers me more opportunities for career growth - I do not feel my current position offers a competitive salary. - I am looking for a position with a better commute. and so on. Potential bad answers: - I'm leaving because my boss is a jerk - I'm leaving because I want more money - I'm leaving because I'm sick of my current job Note that these aren't necessarily that different in reality than some of the good reasons, but it is all a matter of presentation.

There are many ways, you can say want to advance, No room for advancement at current employer, Reached my limits of accomplishment, or anything along those terms are a few that I have used before.

I enjoy my job, but the potential for advancement has been reached. I want a career that I can grow with and advance in.

If the money is all you're going for, then you're going to have to find something to put in there about the position you're applying for. Like if you're going from a burger flipper to a waiter or waitress, you'd put something to the effect of desiring the ability to interact with customers on a more personal level.
