Job interview: “Will you leave this job if you find a better one?” (A2, summary in A1)

  • and your answer?


In the interview, one person on the panel looks at me and asks directly: “Will you leave this job if you find a better one?”

I [smile politely] and [take a short breath]. I say: “Thank you for this question.” Then I continue: “For me, a better job does not only mean more money. A better job means good colleagues, a friendly team, fair treatment, and a chance to learn new skills. It also means a place where I feel safe, respected, and happy.”

I [look at the panel with confidence] and explain more: “If I can find all these things in this company, I will not want to leave. I will feel that this job is already the best one for me.”

Then I add: “For me, stability is very important. When I accept a job, I want to give my best. I want to work hard every day and grow step by step. I want to make a good difference in the company.”

I [pause for a moment] and say: “Of course, nobody can see the future, but my plan is very clear. I want to stay in this job, I want to learn, and I want to grow together with your company.”

At the end, I [smile again] and say clearly: “So, no, I will not leave this job if I find a better one. My goal is to stay loyal, to give my best, and to build my future with your team.”

This answer shows that I am serious, positive, and ready to commit.
