Where do you want to be in 5 (or 10 or 15) years?
4. Where do you want to be in 5 (or 10 or 15) years?
What do you want to do with your life?
Strike a delicate balance when responding to this kind of question: Honesty/ambition/ your desire to be working at this company.
· Avoid responses like starting your own business, running for Congress.
- Not totally inappropriate to mention the personal (marriage, family), but focus on professional goals.
Response could be: «I'm here to let you know that I am the best person for the job. If in the future you feel I would be a candidate for a higher level position, I know I wouldn't be passed up.»
OR: «I hope to stay at the company and expect that in five years, I'll make a significant advance in the organization.»
OR: «I would like to become the very best ______ your company has.»
