Hi dreamer,

tx for ur reply.
i often stumbled when the interviewer ask me question like...
"why do u wanna leave ur current company?"

what should i answer?
be honest? saying something like "looking for a good pay? current company not doing very well?"
or "want a new challenge?/want to try now things?/looking for career advancement?"

What if we dont have a really good reason to leave current company other than getting a better pay?
Doesnt "seeking new challenge etc..." sounds BS to the interviewer?

Hi dreamer, thanks for ur feedback, really appreciate it

in my experience, another tricky question that always bugged me is:
"why do u want this job? it is not much different from the job you are doing now?"

i reckon, answers like "looking for new challenge",or "...new work environment" doesnt really impress right?

The other question I like to use is "why do you think we should hire you instead of other  equal or more qualified conadidates??"

"...i work hard, always ready to learn new stuff and adapt to my working environemt so that i am more productive and efficient.." is this the kind of answer you are looking for? sweat.gif blush.gif

Hi,

BTW, you may be a hard working person but your post show that you are not a hard working or careful person.  If you do, you would have written this:

"...I work hard, always ready to learn new stuff and adapt to my working environemt so that I am more productive and efficient.."

Instead of this

"...i work hard, always ready to learn new stuff and adapt to my working environemt so that i am more productive and efficient.."

If person is not even hard working enough to use a shift key so the "i" is capitalize correctly, then, what can you tell about that person.  This is just an advice from me.  People had learned that the easiest way to find out about a person is to look at how a person handle the little stuff..

Hi,

You got the right answer.  Now, can someone tell me why this answer is correct and why the previous answer is wrong??

Emphasize more on the job scope we applied to? Not just in general?
I reckon play "hard-to-get" is dangerous and too arrogant. Is being humble and optimistic persuasive enough?
