What is the best answer in an interview for the reason as to why you are leaving your current employer for a candidate who has no honest reason?

 There’s lots of reasons as to why you’d want to leave your current employer; but these aren’t necessarily going to convince a potential new employer to hire you. If there’s been a change in your personal circumstances it’s worth being honest so long as you can put a positive spin on it to avoid these issues from backfiring on you. The best answers are to illustrate how the company can utilise your skills to give them the edge over their competitors; but don’t spend too long comparing roles. You need to be prepared to sell your transferable skills. Dwelling on the past too much can hinder this; as no-one wants to take on too much baggage. And if you’re relying on your current employer for a reference; you need to remain as positive as possible. The last thing that you want is to create friction between current and future employers which may leave you with no employment at all.
