OT: Interview Question
I am currently looking for a new network admin job, I count my blessing, but I always get the question "Why do you want to leave your current job".. the real reason is my job doesn't acknowledge I have a college degree or computer certifications and won't pay me more money, but that is not what a perspective employeer wants to hear.. What are some good responses to this question?? Thank You for any input

PS: I know this is REALLY OFF topic so kinda bear with me!! ;)

"I realize that there is no room for movement in my curent position. Because of this, I feel that I must move on"
-
you could take the brutally honest approach
"the money sucks and so does the management. I''m overworked, underpaid and it's just time for me to go."
-
"I eviscerated my old boss with a spoon for not giving me the afternoon off to go to the match, so I don't really have a job right now."
-
Or how about:
"When the CEO found me boning his missus on the boardroom table he told me to look for another position without delay. When I rolled her over doggy style he went ballistic and sacked me..... Are you married?"
-
Or:
Employer: "So Mr GGL, why do you want to leave your current job?"
GGL: *opens eyes really wide, stars off into space* "Because it's all..... quiet.. there.. now..."
Then start picking at your teeth absently with your overlong pinky nail*.
*You'll have to grow your pinky nail first for this one, of course.

I'm not really helping, am I......

More seriously, a good one is always:
"Well, for a long time the job was very challenging, but the position has become somewhat stagnant and I don't feel challenged any longer. I think I've achieved all I can in my current job and feel it's time to move on."
But that's just boring as batshit.
-
messing around with the CEO's wife WILL get you fired - even if you didn't know she was his wife....trust me.....

I'm sorry, that's secret knowledge only ever passed down from sifu to his most trusted disciples.
It's called the Secret View Source Technique....
Ah, I've already said too much! ;)

"I felt I had grown beyond that position and it was time for me to find one that would challenge me to fulfill my potential"
