I want to learn more

I feel like I'm ready to take on more responsibility

I believe I've progressed as far as I can in my current role

I need a change of environment to motivate me

I want to develop a new skill that isn't required in my current job

I don't feel like my current role is challenging me anymore

Best Answer:-

My biggest reason for leaving is that I'm ready to take on more responsibility. I want to manage a team, but there are no leadership positions available at my current employer. I enjoy delivering training sessions and upskilling junior employees. It's something I do a lot in my current role, and I've received lots of positive feedback, but I could do this even more effectively if I had my own team. I know you're looking for someone to lead a small team of graduates and I'm really excited about the prospect of helping them to develop.
