Be careful with this one. You don’t want to come across as negative, or disparaging to your current company, boss, or coworkers. Instead, put a positive spin on why you’re leaving. Instead of saying “I’m bored out of my mind,” you could say that you’re looking for new challenges at work.

When asked on a recent interview why I was seeking out a more traditional job after freelancing for years, I answered that I was looking to be part of a team again, not that I was tired of feeling isolated and cut off while working. It means the same thing, but it’s all about how you express yourself! Hiring managers will almost always prefer someone who answers with a positive statement rather than a negative one!
