So, how do you explain why you're looking for a new job when you're already employed? Here are five tips to help you out!

Gone are the days when people stay with one company their entire career. But unless the position has grown and changed with you, your might feel bored or uninspired by the job.

It's acceptable to state that while you've loved working for the company and have learned so much in your job, you feel that you've learned everything that you can and are looking for a job with new challenges where you can better utilize your skills and experience.

While explaining why you want a new job is an acceptable answer, don't stop there. Take it a step further and explain how you're a problem solver, that you'd like to solve problems for the company, and how that advances your career.

For example, you could point out potential pain points the organization might be facing and then explain how you plan to solve them with your fresh ideas, experience, and knowledge. Then focus the rest of your answer on why this new job aligns better with your career goals and where you want your career path headed in the future.

One of the easiest ways to explain why you want to leave your current position is that you've changed career interests. It's a sign that you know what works for you and what doesn't-literally.

So, if you are applying for a new job that is different from your former field, let your interviewer know that you are changing career paths and that working for this company would be in line with your new career goals. Then explain all of your transferable skills and experience to show that you are qualified for the job.Sometimes you've gone as far as you can go in your career at your current company, but you want to go farther. It might be because the company is small, and there's no room for you to move up the career ladder. Or, it could be that your current company has a narrow focus, and you've decided you want to work on broader or larger projects.
