I have a question and want an answer too. In interview most of the interviewer asked the question that "Why you want to leave your organization. " Some says, For better prospects, soem says for Port Folio and better prospects and some other says I want change, I am fade to do same thing from last 5 (say) years. And I want some creative and innovative work and make my own decisions.

What do you think? These are goods answer or have to say some other good or better thing?

Hi Montic,

Well, what I believe that things never remains unchanged or same. I would agree and realize the need of a change in a human life as change is the inspiration of life.
I would agree that similar routine, work place, environment, responsibilities, issues, people around you etc affect your productivity and tend to make you the victim of Monotony that generates an urge of change. So significance of change is accepted.

In this concern, this is managers' responsibility to take steps, assign various tasks to the employees, rotate the responsibilities occasionally while staying in the same job domain, create a competitive environment to boost the motivation, associate small incentives like dinner etc with the successful completion of a task, even change of seating can even increase your productivity.

I hope you have got your answer.

A lot depends who you are moving from and too.

Smaller to bigger - experience + better company
bigger to smaller - had experience of big - want to apply in a newer/up and coming/etc company with more chances to grow into etc etc

It is about saying the right things well and not saying daft things.

If this response is not going to work, then what should be the justified reasons to quit a place?

Sorry to join in so late, hopefully you will already have your answer. If not, then use an answer that shows why the interviewer should be hiring you. If you give an answer that suggests that you might leave the new job such as 'I don't like to do the same job for too long' then you aren't showing yourself as a good long-term employee.

Thanks

These are pretty standard responses in terms of the question. Another one is that 'I want some new fresh challenges,' 'I've achieved as much as I could with my previous company and would like some fresh challenges' or answers along this line. Maybe you wanted a change of company culture to a small company if you were in a large organisation etc.

You need to be as diplomatic as possible.

Don't blame any previous employers or businesses. Say you felt like it was the best time to move and find another challenge...

NEVER be negative...

Explain (briefly) how their post fits into your medium-term career advancement plans; then why the projects they want the post-holder to complete in the first year appeal to you so strongly. Talk about the measurable improvements (eg cost savings) you'd aim to achieve in your first year with that employer.

This advice assumes you've got at least the basics of a plan for your career and you've done a good job of researching the post and company. You're unlikely to be offered the job if the recruiter has any doubts about your commitment to the post and the company.

The truth is always a good answer and saying that you "want/need change" from one organization to another is truthful, but ambiguous.
