INTERVIEW QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
A detailed answer and analysis of a tough interview question from Matt & Nan DeLuca, authors of the best selling "Best Answers to the 201 Most Frequently Asked Interview Questions" and "More Best Answers to the 201 Most Frequently Asked Interview Questions"

Why do I want to leave my present job?  Is it OK to answer, "The pay is too low."?

It may be the truth but it does sound crass.  How about, “I am looking for an organization that can best use my abilities and skills.”  You do not want to come across as someone who will move to the higher bidder.  Also, research the companies where you are applying and find some positive reasons (not to do with salary or challenging you) for making the move. 

Here are more tough interview questions and situations answered in the Complete Interview Guide:

• When asked on an application, "If presently employed, why do you wish to change positions?"  What do you put down?

• I left my previous job because I didn't enjoy the job.  How do I answer when asked why I left my previous job?
