usually i say to avoid layoffs but ive only been at my new job for a few weeks. I was thinking of saying cause im looking for a job that more closely matches my skillset but is that too much of a generic answer?

I would probably not mention your current job at all if you're only been there a few weeks. No employer wants to invest a bunch of money in hiring someone who might leave their company that quickly as well.

#

they didnt ask so i didnt mention how long ive been at my current job, only why im looking for a new one

Ya don’t mention your current job if you can since you’ve only been there for weeks.

Wouldn’t even list it on your resume to be honest.

As for the question don’t overthink it, it’s just a feeler question to help establish the why. Just be honest in a professional manner.

for this question just avoid the red flag answers like outright shitting on your current job or just saying "cuz money"
