How to answer it beautifully and achieve a great turn? A tough task. Instead of worrying about how to answer ‘yourself’, why not think about why you need an answer to this question if you are an employer?

A few years ago, there was a very popular picture on the Internet. An employee wrote on his resignation note, ‘The world is big, I want to see it.’ It is full of emotions and dreams. Of course it is romantic, but for the employer, he needs to know: ‘When you go out into the world and see the world, what positive feedback will you have for my company and this position? Breaking up and saying goodbye is always the hardest part. The other party will also want to see your attitude to changing jobs from your words and actions, and want to know whether you are a suitable partner to work with.
