    I’m looking for a position that offers new challenges as well as a place where I can bring my experience to the table. My research has shown me that this is the company where I can accomplish this.

    Honesty Is always my policy. If it's the money or actual job I would be honest.

    Tell them why and if you don’t have that answer before you applied you shouldn’t be there

    Honestly. Going beyond simply the money & benefits is certainly worthwhile, though! Find at least one aspect of the position or the employer which you find Desirable; one of each is better still. Failing other possibilities, you may always fall back upon some form of "I enjoy new challenges."

    You'll have to lie unless you're desperate.
