Hello Pradyumna,
There can NEVER be a BEST answer for such things...only a BETTER answer.
When you change the present job to a new one, there is always a possibility that you will change again after sometime [maybe a few years down the line]. Then again, there will be a BETTER answer for the hunt-better vis-a-vis what you NOW think is better.
And I think Asha's suggestion should be good enough for the present situation.

Hi Asha,
I have come across the the same answer. Could you reply the following questions with a better answer.
1. Why dont you think of your career development and challenging avenues in the same corporate?
and
2. Why do you feel there is no career development in your current job?

Dear Pradyumna,
"A ROLLING STONE GATHER NO MASS " , I believe this. But in my career between 20-40 yrs people freequenly changing the jobs.
Reasons may be saying;
1. Better prospects (A newly joined persons and just acquiring knowledge people says like that)
2. Career Development ( After acquiring some experience if they got opportunity in a meadium or big orgnisations pepole says like that)
3. Some family constraints ( If the family is some where and the employment some where people says like that)
But all together like the above are for a change.

As wrightly said by our above members there's no specific or exact answer that can be given cos it depends based on the situations a candidate appears for a post. And always an explanation has to be given. On the contrary if its for pure need of oneself's elevation then can it be "Job Rotation", "Personal growth
Can it be "Job Rotation", "Personal Growth the way we wish to be or wish to attain."
Harish to answer your question - (Can it be answered this way-genuine candidate for job rotation)(excluding the personal reasons)
1. Having served for a long period and to a certain extent knowing the values/environment and operations of current organisation I would now like to utilise/apply my skills and prove my capability in a different work culture/operations or entirely new environment. In a way challenging myself to suit and work for what I decide to as your firm requires a candidate to suit your needs.
and
2.There's always a comfort zone for everybody. So, I have reached my comfort zone in my current job and that makes me to look for new challenges.
Request all for suggestions. Can this be answered.Pls correct me If I'm wrong.

Good Answer Kavitha
Harish, Thanks for the questions. Each individual will have various answres and each of them would have a different reason for actually considering a change. It need not always be that there are no career opportunies with existing company, but may be a better offer exists outside. Whats wrong in trying?
for some - it may be a Bad Management the reason why they want to quit, for other relocation, for others- may be the pay, or even Glass ceiling in certain cases.
I can highlight a few areas the interviewees need to be prepare for such questions:
1. Why dont you think of your career development and challenging avenues in the same corporate?
(does this mean replacing my senior?? :-)
Jokes apart - I would suggest :
a) Opportunity for exposure in a different industry
b) Opportunity to use available skill set for a better position. Eg: A recruiter will definitely know in detail about a particular role,. and who will fit the role and the bill. Also, in future, this knowledge will turn as required skill set for identification of training needs and seeting of performance mgmnt systes (KRA and KRIS derived from JDS)
c) Job/skills requirement differ between industries and even among companies. certain positions may demand a detailed approach, whereas certain dont. Now its the interest of the candidate to consider what they want to specialize in future.
d) Please be aware of what interests you the most about the position
2. Why do you feel there is no career development in your current job?
(did u feel so??? thats bad)
- Limited responsibilities
- Limited opportunities (due to infrastructure / industry/ type of culture)
- If one has specialized in a field and become good at it, its better to move forward with career and thoughts for professional and personal improvement. stagnation is bad. May be the new offer has much scope for offering what os required for growth and exposure.
I have just give you suggestions that one may/might want to consider before chosing or "structuring" your answer.
Above all, be frank. Be true with the actual reason, because if you are not - you never know when you will be caught. Trust me - HR Recruiters who are also involved in background verification, can gather all truth about you and ur past work profile. U think they cant? Then they fooled you - its the HRs job, and they are perfect in what they do. Never underestomate an HRs strength by what you see on their face - they (we) can look ignorant about certain issues, but we know the fact and want to see your integrity. All these counts in lay off while deciding whom to keep with the company and whom to let go.
Thanks!

Hi
You can compare the opportuinties provided by both the employers and by doing so, you can highlight potential growth with new employer. Thus, without criticising current employer you can reply deplomaticaly. :icon1:

Why do I want to change? ummm... The answers to this question will depend upon different ranges of experience. A person with 15 yrs of experience cannot give a reason what is best suited to a person with 2 yrs of exp.
However, there are some common 'supportive' answers for all ranges, such as, "Company is shifting", "I'm being asked to take up the charge at [a distant place]", "I think I'm underpaid"... etc.
