When you are looking for a new job, make sure that you give out the correct reasons. You might want to relocate or change because you want to explore more or you could have been laid off. Whichever the reason is, it is imperative that you give out the correct reason as it is the first step in building the interviewer's trust in you.
There could be various reasons:
1. You are looking for a bigger or smaller company
2. You want better long - term prospects.
3. Ethical reasons to look for a new job
4. Location
5. Personal reasons
6. Seeking a new opportunity
Sample - 1: "I feel as though I'm ready for another stage in my career, a new challenge. I'd also like to continue to grow and learn in this field, and take on some new tasks - ones I haven't had the opportunity to tackle in my current role. "
Sample - 2: "The major reason for a job switch was that I wanted to relocate to my hometown. My previous organization enabled me to learn a lot and since we were a small team, I got a hands on experience on a lot of things apart from my designated work. But I lived in a far off place and my commute was hectic as well. So I decided to move back and take on an equally challenging role, which I believe your company would provide me. "
