Question 1 of 30

Where do you see yourself in five years?

This question almost always directly relates to the vision you have for your professional future, and whether you have a five-year career plan which you regularly update. Whether you do should inform them of how career focused you are and whether you have a vision for where you are steering your future. What your five-year career plan looks like will also potentially inform them of whether you see a future for yourself with their company. Your career goals, and how aligned they are with what their company has to offer, should prove informative as well.
