  1. You are looking for a bigger or smaller company. The size of a company can really affect your work and how you feel about being there, especially because it affects the work culture and dynamic. Personally, I like to work in smaller, more familiar companies where I have contact with the other employees. However, some people function better in bigger companies where everything is more formal and better structured. If this reason applies to you, let your interviewer know that the company size matters for you, and it's nothing more than that. It's a very legitimate, respectable reason.
  2. You want better long-term prospects. You could honestly have just exhausted the work at your current job after putting your all into it. Maybe there are no options left in the sector you work in, and you want to do something completely different with better prospects for the future.
  3. Ethical reasons to look for a new job. It's completely understandable if you have ethical reasons for switching jobs. Maybe your current company does some things that you don't want to be a part of, such as discriminating against certain groups, for one. This is, of course, a good reason to change a job, but also keep in mind that you have to frame it a certain way. Try to avoid badmouthing your current employer and co-workers-make it seem more like the ethical reasons are your personal preference and not a reflection of being in a bad company. If you speak ill of your current job, your interviewer will then peg you as someone who may do so again if/once you leave the job, you're applying for
  4. Seeking a new opportunity. Another good answer is that you simply just want a new opportunity. You feel like you have taken every possibility out of your current job, and there just aren't any challenges left anymore in this job. You feel like it's time to learn new points of view regarding the business. Or you're curious about a new sector or industry altogether. You think this job is good for your future and you see a lot of opportunities in it.
