“Why are you leaving your present position?”

If your current company is not meeting your expectations, you can often explain this in a positive way. “I need to be challenged to develop my potential further. I am interested in additional responsibility and new opportunity, which unfortunately are limited at my current employer because of (company size/limited product line/company restructuring or downsizing). The reputation and market focus of (name of prospective employer) offers many opportunities for someone with my training and experience. It’s the ideal environment I’ve been seeking.”
