"Why are you looking for a new job?" is one of the trickier ones your interviewer may ask. It might seem straightforward. However, it's a multi-faceted and layered question that provides tons of information about you and your motivations.

Hiring managers ask this question for many reasons. One of the biggest reasons is to understand what is causing you to want to leave - relationship with your boss, your satisfaction with work, have you outgrown your work, or other issues. How you answer the question says more about you than it does the organization you're leaving.

Interviewers want to know what type of employee you will be. Do you run away from challenges or face them head-on? Are you a team player? Do you take constructive feedback well? It's a nuanced query, but how you frame your answer can give the interviewer plenty of insight into whether or not you're a good fit.

We have all had one of those moments where we think, is this job for me? It is a fairly common thought and happens a lot more than you think! If you're starting to have these thoughts more regularly it might be time for you to consider looking for a new job or a complete career change. Being open to new job opportunities is very useful in your career journey, and it is always worth exploring something before outright saying no.

What you want from your career at one stage in your life may evolve as you learn new skills or as your personal life priorities change - whether that's because you've had children or want to move in or out of the city.

If you're not feeling challenged in your current role and want to look at changing jobs or starting a new career, we can help you there. We have thousands of new opportunities just waiting for you.
