Why are you leaving your current job?

"I decided to look for other jobs because I have already been promoted twice and there is no more room for growth. This position at Red Bull will give me more experience as a manager and help me to cultivate my leadership skills."

"For the past six months, I've felt quite stagnant in my current role and knew that it was time for a change professionally. My coworkers and supervisor have all been absolutely fantastic to work with, but I feel confident that after three years with my current organization, it's time for the next chapter in my career. Given the experience that I bring and my interests, I feel strongly that the next chapter is with Red Bull, and I'm looking forward to the growth opportunities that you offer."

Be honest about your situation while still using discretion about how much you share. It's okay to make the decision to leave a role that's no longer working for you, whatever that reason might be. You don't need to give every detail of 'why,' but feel free to be open about what you are seeking professionally that you could no longer fulfill in your current position.

Acceptable answers might include seeking greater professional growth opportunities, motivation to learn something new or take on greater responsibility, or simply a change of career goals or interests. Play it positive by focusing on how this new position with Red Bull will help you take your career to the next level.
