That's what I would say. Also something like you are looking for a more challenging position that will utilize your current skills and that will allow you to gain some additional skills.

Good Luck!

I hope they don't ask me the where you plan to be in 5 years question...I really hate those questions.

Its going to be a weird interview, because the company I am going to interview with is my companies competition, and there are a few things that I cannot mention to them. So basically I have to watch what I say.

Good luck!!!

Like everyone else said, I'd stick with the telling the interviewer that you are looking for the chance to advance/grow and that your current company isn't offering that opportunity to you.

I've changed jobs within my industry a few times (from competitor to competitor) and was always very careful not to blast my previous company. It was a good move...some of my previous managers ended up moving to the new company and becoming my new managers! I'd never burn bridges...you just never know what the future will bring.

I will never say anything negative about my company...although there are plenty of negative things I could say. I know companies you are interviewing with do not want to hear negative things, and I dont blame them.

The very best of luck to you.

All I will add is to project a positive attitude about your current position.

I have had a great experience at company XXX however I am looking for a more challenging position yada yada.
