"I'm looking for better opportunities to grow my skill sets. Unfortunately, my current company is stagnant and won't be expanding any time soon and I know my current skills can be better applied elsewhere."

Yes, it's quite stock. But, the goal is to get back the hiring manager/HR dept. and get to the person you would be working under.

I don't see many small businesses asking why you want to leave a company. They are small because they know damn well why you are leaving (for the same reason they left and started their small business).

This is actually an excellent response, maybe throw in something about changing culture and chemistry not being good.

Just my opinion, neither of those points are a good idea...

Citing "changing culture" will be interpreted as you not being able to adapt to change.

"Bad chemistry" indicates you have issues working with difficult people.

Long story short, those will be interpreted as problems with your behavior, not the companies or coworkers.

Stagnant is a...nice way to put it. Collapsing in on itself would be another.

It is something I can work in though. The owner has said himself that the only other upward movement I could have is replacing him, and that's not in the cards. I used to want to own one of these stores, but knowing what I know now....shit no.
