The reason-for-change question asks why you want to leave your current job (or why you left your last one), usually in a short text box.
Forms ask it as: Why are you looking for a change?
How forms ask it
- A short text box: “Reason for job change”, “Reason for leaving” or “Why are you looking for a change?”.
- Sometimes a list of choices, such as career growth, relocation or company closure.
How to answer it
- Keep it to one or two true sentences.
- Say what you want next: a bigger role, a new domain, a different city, more stable hours.
- Stay neutral about your current employer and colleagues.
- If your company closed or your role was made redundant, say that plainly.
How Ezy Agent answers it

Questions
Is “better salary” an acceptable reason?
It can be true, but on a form it reads better as part of growth: a bigger role or more responsibility.
Should I mention problems at my current job?
Keep it neutral; describe what you are moving towards rather than what you are leaving.
What if I was laid off?
Say so in plain words, for example that your role was made redundant in a restructuring.
