Saya tengah aktif apply kerja & plan nak tender bila dh dpt offer. Currently i've 2 upcoming interviews + 1 tunggu result. Haritu, hiring manager tanya saya soalan yg sy tak expect. "Why r you leaving your current company?". Honestly, saya blank. Tak tahu nak jujur atau tipu. Jujur: nak gaji tinggi & kerja sekarang susah. Environment kerja tak best. Tapi end up sy tipu, sy ckp sbb nak challenge myself. Boring answer. Kalau next IV ditanya lagi, apa jawapan SELAMAT utk sy beri? Mohon advice. TQ

It’s totally normal to feel unsure about how to answer that question! A safe and honest response could be something like, 'I’m looking for new challenges and opportunities for growth that align more with my career goals.' You don’t need to go into too much detail about your current work environment unless you're comfortable with it. It keeps the answer professional and positive.

Kalau environment kerja sekarang toxic, jangan cakap terus terang. Boleh spin jadi "I'm looking for a positive work culture that aligns with my values."

Jawapan "challenge myself" tu okay, tapi boleh improvise sikit. Contoh: "I feel I've maximized my learning here and I'm ready for the next step in my career."

Jangan terlalu jujur sampai bagi impression negative. Instead of "nak gaji tinggi," boleh cakap "looking for better career progression & growth opportunities."

Yang penting jangan badmouth company lama. Keep it professional, tunjuk yang kita move forward sebab career growth, bukan lari dari masalah.

Soalan ni tricky tapi always better to keep it neutral. Boleh cakap nak cari peluang growth yang lebih baik atau nak explore industry lain.

Untuk bidang engineering, sebelum datang interview pun soalan ini dah ditanya. Biasa dalam resume dah letak reason untuk berhenti.
