Dear All,
Generally, this question is asked by Human Resource professionals when interviewing candidates: what is the reason for changing jobs? In the case of HR professionals attending an interview where such a question is asked, what would your answer be? Would you speak the truth? If yes, in most cases, reasons could include seeking higher salary, dissatisfaction with the job profile, being fed up with recruitment, or finding the boss's behavior weird. Alternatively, would you provide false information to secure the job?
Please reflect on this and I kindly request all who come across this post to provide at least a two-line reply with your answer. Thank you.

Dear Ramya, It seems you are making the reason an answer. Question is why do you want to change the job and i think the answer to change a job, doesn’t sound good.

Hi Deepak,
If I were to go for an interview, I would simply say that I am looking for a change so that I can explore more in HR. In my present company, I report to the VP of HR (although I am a Senior Executive in HR). The current scenario in my company does not offer any growth opportunities in the near future as my VP is the decision-maker, and I am more like a secretary to her.
If the interviewer were to probe further, I could provide more details. Otherwise, this is the reason I would like to present.
Thank you.

In general (if we don't want to give too specific/actual reason), we can say "for better growth and opportunity with better learning." Or we can say "professional growth as well as personal growth." If the interviewer asks about professional growth, we can mention new work environment with new challenges and opportunities for learning.
For personal growth, we can discuss growth in monetary terms (tangible growth) and learning through new responsibilities (intangible growth). I hope I have clarified my points properly, and please correct me if I am wrong on any point.

If you tell the truth, you will never get selected. So just give any one of the answers: Better job prospects, better pay, good company to establish a career. And the harsh truth is, once you get the job, no one will bother to ask you why you changed your job.

In recent days, job changes are common among young people. So, I will not go with any answer like that. I will go with "career growth" because wherever we go for a job, there should be career growth so that one can learn a lot in their job.

Hey Deepak,
You can make the following comments as per the situation demands:
Good and Big company
- for reputation and working with a big brand name as it matters... or to be associated with a brand name like yours matters.
Change in profile (like MIS executive or something similar)
- because I have been working in recruitment for the past year and have mastered that, it's time for me to excel in other HR fields as well. That's why.
Some middle-level company
- for career growth and a salary increase as I require growth in my professional life to reach my dream job, and your company provides a perfect platform for the same.
I would like to have more...
Cheers

Hi,
If I were asked why I want to change my present job, my answer would be that I have learned many things in that organization, like blah blah blah. I aim to share my knowledge and experience with others and continue learning more in the HR field, which is why I want to change my job. In short, it is for career growth.
Take care,

Dear All,
As you have given good answers, which seem to be fitting with the situation. Don't you think a recruiter may ask something related to the answers such as:
1. You want to change for better growth, knowledge never stops a person from being trained, nowadays do you think a person needs school training. It's all up to you. For example, if you are conducting training on Six Sigma, you should go through the material to at least have a view of the same. What I feel is that's the only way where we all can learn a lot, putting in our personal efforts and by utilizing the resources lying around us.
2. You want to change as you have been consumed by a particular function like recruitment & selection, Performance Appraisal, Training & Development, Employee Welfare, etc., and that's the reason you are looking for a change. The question can be: why don't you try to develop another function in your company and believe that if you succeed in starting this, you will be the master of that function. Don't you?
By the way, I really do appreciate all of your views. Have a great time, but if you are attending an interview with a panel of interviewers, your answer should be comprehensive, leaving no space for them to ask related questions.
Keep posting your answers and views; it will really help us a lot.
