"why do you want to leave your current job?" |
|
i am going to on an interview later this week at the firm where my bf works. he told me they have already asked him why i want to leave the one i work for now. i hate that question. the real reason is that i want more money and less bs. there are some changes going on at my firm that i don't like and will probably end up screwing me somehow. damn.

you don't want to make it seem you're the kind always looking to leave.....how long have you been in your current position? If it's a few years it would be perfectly acceptable to say you are looking for more challenge and opportunity.

5. i have been in my current postion for 4 years and the one before that |
|
for 11. so i don't change jobs easily. it is just that we have had two accountants leave in the last few months and they are dragging their feet about hiring anyone and, since i have been there the longest (now) i keep getting the shit clients and the two "new" (both been there a year) get the easy ones. i have too much work and everyone wants there stuff first and it is really starting to tick me off. i mean, i'm good, but there is a point... :eyes:

4. "I don't see my current workplace |
|
as the best place for me to express my work goals. I'm not challenged in my current position, which is what I like about this position. I see myself being able to _________ and ________, and that's something I just don't see happening where I am now."
I know it's overly corporate, but I hope that helps.

I would say something like, "I have enjoyed the four years I've worked at ABC Corp., but they have made some recent changes, and my current job isn't a good fit any longer." At this point make a couple comments why the new position matches your career goals.
"Good fit" seems to be the new "think outside the box" buzz phrase. :P
