    Handling frequently asked interview questions

    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."
