Dear All,
I am working in India's Apex Chamber as a Research Analyst for the past 2 years. Now, I am looking for a job change, but I am a little confused about the questions that the HR people ask, "What is the reason you want to leave your current organization?" Please help me out with a suitable answer to this question.
Thanks,

Most ticklish question to know what is "you" and to assess your "character". The best answer would be: For better prospects, or to develop knowledge and understand different procedures, which may inevitably differ from one company to another. Accordingly, I can develop myself by introducing the relevant procedures to the new company.
Expand and explain in your way in a pleasant manner, without hurting your present company nor creating any suspicion with the new company. Never accuse your present company nor belittle it. Common sense will play a major role in answering this type of question.

You can say that you served the organization for 2 years and learned a lot. If you haven't found any career growth there, let them know what your career trajectory is. If you mention better prospects, they may inquire about your expectations from this job and the opportunities you see here. Be specific and transparent. Don't speak negatively about your current company; instead, express that you are content with the company but are seeking career advancement.

Some common interview questions and the best answers( well...moslty they work!)
1) What r ur career goals?
a) Here the interviewer keenly analyses your career goals and your focus towards these goals and then tries to match these with the organisations goals to check if they align
b) Touch upon your aspirations when you began your career
c) Highlight the milestones during your previous assignments like job changes, skills picked up, various training prog undertaken etc
2) Why do you want this job or change the current job?OR where do you see yourself in the next 5 yrs?
Questions the interviewer is really asking –
Will this job shift be a career move in the right direction for you and consequently the company?
How clear are your goals?
How do the same align with the company’s future directions?
a) both indirectly assess your short-term and long-term career goals and allow interviewers to judge whether this job change is in sync with your career plans. Being clear about what you seek from every job move will build confidence in the interviewer’s mind about your commitment and drive, and hold your candidature on solid ground.
b) Avoid the "me" centric answer and rather focus on this new companys working, how your experience and skills make you an ideal candidate and how you share a clear vision of yourself with the company
WARNING:
you MUST'NT come across as a smooth talker who wants to glide through the company gates on the skates of flattery. The recruiter wants to see what value addition will come from your end.
Hope that is helpful and gets you closer to getting that dream job of yours
Cheers!!

For better prospects or to develop knowledge and understand different procedures, which may vary from one company to another, I can enhance my skills and introduce relevant procedures to a new company. It is important to expand and explain this in a positive manner, without disparaging your current company or raising suspicions at the new company. Avoid accusing or belittling your present company.
Common sense will play a major role in answering these types of questions. Perfect guidance. Your experience speaks volumes. Thank you for guiding the younger generation; we look forward to more insights from you.
