considering switching Jobs...

Published

I've been working at an inpatient psych hospital for a little over 6 months... and with new management, higher patient acuity,staffing issues, etc etc, I have made the decision that it's time for a new job.

I applied for ajob at an outpatient/crisis center in the city, and would like some advice for the interview. What would be a reasonable response as to why I want to leave my current job?
