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 should be 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."
