No one can give you an exact answer to the questions. You must answer them yourself according to your particular circumstances. Only you know why you want to leave your current job, not the other members of the team.
In relation to the "tell me about yourself" question, how can other team members give you an answer? We don't know you! Only you can answer that question. The easiest way to deal with it is to tell the interviewer the special skills you can bring to the job, but they need to match the skills the company is looking for.
If you answer these questions at an interview with a glib, rote-learned generic answer, you will surely fail the interview. So, do some work on this and develop your own particular answers to the questions that reflect your skills, personality, and strengths.

Dear Mahesh, Karamv, and Yaasmin,
Thanks for your advice, but I have not received the exact answer to this question. There will be different views of different people in threads. If I want to say that I am leaving my company for better prospects, knowledge, and experience, then the interviewer may probably ask what's the certainty in not leaving my company as well. So, I want an exact answer.
Thanks for sharing your points.

I feel to speak the truth and finish it off. Once I got an offer from a big company (government undertaking), and I was questioned about the same thing - why do you want to change the job? I answered - for better prospects. Then they asked, what better prospects do you expect? I said new learning, new experiences, expanding knowledge and experience. To this, they told me - here you will not have any career growth, you have to work for the position you are joining (see the demoralization height). I said - It's ok, it will be a new learning as I said and an additional experience. Then I got a call from them for a second interview, and the date is awaited.
This means never lie to the employer, speak whatever is the truth. If the company deserves you, they will go ahead, or else it's ok.

It's like a white truth, and I believe everybody understands... A very professional answer would be Better Prospects.
@yaasmin, it may be a stress interview. Under such circumstances, look at the words used by the employer in the employment advertisement, which highlights job analysis (a product of job specification and personnel specification). This should be used as the base of a standout tactic in such interviews, if required.

Why do you want to leave your current job? This is the most obvious question asked during job changes because the recruiter may want to understand the attitude, behavior, and priorities of an individual regarding change. The recruiter wants to ensure that they select the right candidate with a stable mindset.
You must give a logical and practical answer to this question. Never point out negative factors about your employer and don't show that you are in a hurry for a change. Avoid mentioning bad salary, a bad profile, or a non-cooperative boss as the reason for change. Instead, you can talk about your career goals, profile and responsibility change priorities, learning and growth opportunities as a few reasons for change. If you are changing industries, explain your specific skills that you believe you can utilize better in the new sector.
Although these tips are not exhaustive for describing reasons for change as it depends on a case-to-case basis, they can help fuel your thoughts to find suitable answers and prepare better.
Talking about yourself is an important and common situation during an interview; one should be well-prepared and structure their answer and probable clarifications on points that may arise from the initial conversation. To see an example of how to answer this question, visit my blog (find the link in my signature) and search for the answer.

Hi all,
I have a question! As the companies ask, "Why do you want to leave your present job?" The candidate should also ask, "Why is there a vacancy in your company? Is it for expansion or replacement? If it is a replacement, why did the previous employee leave? What is the median tenure in the company/department?" By asking these questions, the candidate can have an idea about the company, policies, behavior of supervisors, etc. The employer can conduct a reference check on the candidate to assess suitability, but the employee cannot check it before joining. Is it fair?
Thank you.

Dear Sarvesh Bansal,
I understand the level of stress and anxiety you may experience when facing such a panel. To excel in these interviews, I can provide you with some basic tips to help you improve.
1. Think before you act: Before giving any answers, remain calm, composed, and take a moment to think. Remember, the interviewer has been through this process themselves before succeeding in interviews.
2. Do a SWOT analysis of yourself: Identify your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities (such as new assignments), and threats (external factors). This analysis will help you prepare better.
3. Never lie or act differently during an interview. Authenticity is key.
4. When faced with tricky questions, avoid giving direct answers. Handle such situations tactfully and confidently.
5. Treat each day as a new opportunity to improve. Practice self-reflection in front of a mirror to overcome any fears you may have about interviews.
I hope these tips will be beneficial to you. I also advise you to be cautious about posting such questions as it may reveal your experience with interviews.

These are the irritating questions. There is no satisfying answer to it. Even if you are honest, the interviewer will still suspect and put a supplementary question, trapping you. Just respond by stating, "you deserve a better incumbent, and here I am."

Be straightforward but avoid negative comments about past employers in the job interview. Don't bad-mouth the company, your manager, or colleagues; it puts you in a bad light. Keep it positive and make the reason for leaving a constructive one such as a new challenge, exciting opportunity, increased responsibility, or learning possibility.
"I have reached the ceiling in my particular job, and I am ready for more responsibility."
"After a number of years in my last position, I am now looking for a new experience where I can contribute and grow in a bigger environment."
Avoid stating your salary as a prime motivator for change. However, location is a perfectly acceptable reason for moving.
"I am relocating to this area for family reasons and left my job to make this move."
"I was spending hours each day commuting. I would prefer to be closer to home."

The main aim of changing jobs is better prospects, so this is a better answer. You can say, "I am looking for a challenging and respectable position in the best organization where I can contribute to the company's success by utilizing my personal and professional skills."

Dear Vinayak,
As we mentioned earlier, there will be endless questions from the interviewer, and you need to answer them tactfully.
When facing a query like yours, I prefer to respond by saying that if I find better prospects and career growth within this company, I definitely will not consider changing jobs.
In response, they might ask, "Do you believe there is no room for growth in your previous company?" I would reply that there is growth, but it is limited to the branch office. For further career progression, I might need to relocate or work at the head office in Delhi, which is not part of my current plans.
It is essential to answer tactfully so that the interviewer does not perceive your response as silly or unwise.
Always speak the truth tactfully and refrain from speaking negatively about any of your previous employers.
I hope this helps you in creating a positive impact during your interviews.
