How do I answer “Why are you changing your current job?” in an interview?
Hi everyone,
I have an interview in about 12 hours and I really need some advice on how to answer this question professionally.
I currently work as an Operation Coordinator and I’m applying for a new role as an Administration Manager.
The thing is, I’ve been facing some issues in my current workplace recently. The salary is very low compared to the workload, and they keep increasing responsibilities without updating the contract. The workload has become heavier almost every week, and now they’re asking us to work longer hours than originally agreed. Shift schedules are also changing constantly and randomly based on management decisions. Overall, the work environment has become quite unstable and not well-structured in terms of policies and employee rights.
Another point is that my current role is fully remote (online), while the new position is on-site (offline), which I actually see as a positive step for me in terms of structure, communication, and professional growth.
I don’t want to sound negative or unprofessional in the interview, so I’m looking for advice on how to frame this situation in a positive and professional way.
What would be the best way to answer this question?
Thank you in advance!
