When asked why you're looking for a new job, it is in your best interest to be truthful and honest about your reason for seeking a change. Doing so helps build trust with the interviewer and demonstrates your integrity as a potential employee. However, this does not mean you should give a complete account of the circumstances behind your previous termination or job dissatisfaction. Simply state the facts while providing enough information to support your response. Avoid unnecessary details that could make you appear negative or unreliable.

In general, it's best to keep your response short and sweet while still conveying your message clearly and effectively. Trying to cover too much ground in a single answer will only confuse the interviewer and may cause them to lose interest. So, make sure to focus on relevant points and the main reasons why you're looking for a change. Then, follow up with a brief explanation of why the role appeals to you. As a general rule, one to two minutes should be more than enough to summarize the main points of your argument. You may expand upon those points if asked to elaborate further.

Despite the reasons you're leaving your current job, it's imperative to maintain a positive and upbeat attitude throughout the interview process. Even if you've had issues with your old company, you should still put a positive spin on your response. Focus on the positive aspects of your past work and the lessons you've learned rather than the shortcomings and frustrations you may have experienced along the way. This will ensure you won't come off as bitter or resentful during your conversation, giving the interviewer the impression that you're ready to move into the future with an open mind and a positive attitude.
