The interviewer is trying to understand why you have applied for a position outside of the company that you are currently working with rather than seeking growth opportunities within your current place of employment. You will want to be careful not to speak poorly of your current employer.

Think about why you are currently considering a new role. Talk about why you have decided to seek employment outside of your current employer. Without speaking poorly of your current employer, discuss why you feel like you are ready to part ways with the company.

"I have a friend that works for the company who has spoken so highly of the company culture and how well the employees are valued. That type of employment relationship is not always easy to find and I really would like to build my career with an employer that values my hard work and goals."
