Hi,
Recently, I attended an interview where I was asked why I am looking for a change. I responded with "betterment," but I personally don't find this answer impressive. Currently, I am working in a good company, but the salary is less compared to others, and I am seeking a better package.
Please suggest how I can impress a new employer and communicate why I am looking for a change.

In order to talk about change, you can say, "I have been with the company for a long time and have implemented everything I learned there. However, I no longer feel challenged and believe it's time for a new opportunity. Everyone craves change, and I am actively seeking that change now."

hi mahendra... i think the below answr shall give you some insights to frame your words in a better way...
Why are you leaving (or did you leave) this position or why are you looking for a chance?
(If you have a job presently tell the hr)
If you're not yet 100% committed to leaving your present post, don't be afraid to say so. Since you have a job, you are in a stronger position than someone who does not. But don't be coy either. State honestly what you'd be hoping to find in a new spot. Of course, as stated often before, you answer will all the stronger if you have already uncovered what this position is all about and you match your desires to it.
(If you do not presently have a job tell the hr.)
Never lie about having been fired. It's unethical – and too easily checked. But do try to deflect the reason from you personally. If your firing was the result of a takeover, merger, division wide layoff, etc., so much the better.
But you should also do something totally unnatural that will demonstrate consummate professionalism. Even if it hurts , describe your own firing – candidly, succinctly and without a trace of bitterness – from the company's point-of-view, indicating that you could understand why it happened and you might have made the same decision yourself.
Your stature will rise immensely and, most important of all, you will show you are healed from the wounds inflicted by the firing. You will enhance your image as first-class management material and stand head and shoulders above the legions of firing victims who, at the slightest provocation, zip open their shirts to expose their battle scars and decry the unfairness of it all.
For all prior positions:
Make sure you've prepared a brief reason for leaving. Best reasons: more money, opportunity, responsibility or growth.
i came accross this answer by the virtue of this cite and i hope it will help you.
pls also find the interview questions post for the help needed for anyother question.
regards

My Recommendation
With my current employer, I have advanced with the available resources. I have honed my skills and gained new ones. I am confident that I am more marketable now and looking for an advancement.
Now, before answering, you must know your job-specific skills and how you may have honed them or gained new skills.
Cheers!!
