This question might feel a bit intrusive, but it can come up - especially in positions experiencing turnover. Your interviewer might ask this to understand what might motivate you to leave a position and try to anticipate whether or not you will stay in the role short term or long term. When preparing a response to this question, reflect on your employment history and when you have left a job. Try to share an example that does not paint you or the employer in a negative light. Remember, you want to assure the interviewer that you are the right candidate for the job and that they can count on you.

"I took a semester off to work between my sophomore and junior years of college, and in that time I worked in a retail position. I informed them in my interview that I would be returning to school the following January, so I was extremely flexible to work any schedule through the holidays. They appreciated my honesty upfront, so when December arrived I was able to work with my supervisor and colleagues on a transition plan for those taking over my tasks upon my departure. I actually really enjoyed the job and was sad to leave, though I greatly appreciated the leadership I was able to learn from and the experience I gained while there."
