In my case, it’s new upper management starting down a path that IMO leads to outsourcing the department. But in general, you’re always leaving because of something you don’t like about it. How do you answer this without looking like you’re going to leave the new position as soon as you disagree with the current management? – Ready to leaveDear Ready …“Why are you leaving your current position?” is another example of a disqualifying question – one where even the most brilliant answer won’t help you, but where an inept one will hurt. Answer it quickly and inoffensively and move things along to a more productive subject. So:“I’m ready to take on a new opportunity – one that will offer more responsibility. Right now my employer appears to be pursuing an outsourcing strategy. It’s probably the right direction for the company. I don’t see it taking me where I want to go, which is to …”Or: “I’ve been doing the same work for a number of years and I’m ready to take the next step.
