Why are you leaving your current job?
Be honest but filtered about your situation. Use discretion in what you share. If you are leaving because you had issues with your manager, take care of how you present it. The last thing you want to suggest is that you have issues with people in positions of authority. However, leaving an employer to further your career growth, especially if your current position isn't fostering the rate of growth you long for. Growth opportunities and broadening your skills are relatable reasons. Giving reasons such as higher pay or working closer to home will only raise red flags. Be specific about how this new position will help you take your career to the next level.
"I decided to look for other jobs because I was already promoted twice, and there is no more room for growth. This position at Danone will give me more manager experience and help me cultivate my leadership skills."
"I am passively looking for a new opportunity that will offer continued education and growth opportunities. Also, I am looking for compensation advancement as I have hit the peak of my earnings in my current company."

Since I have been working part-time, I am now looking for more committed opportunities. I believe that this will accommodate my commitment to growth and learning too.

It would be important to mention why you are looking for full time now, also, why you are looking outside of your current employer for more hours. I have provided an example below.
"Now that I have finished school, I am looking for full-time opportunities. I have been working part-time; however, this work is only available to me on weekends and is not related to my goals of a career in the supply chain."
