Thoroughly research the position and their work culture and before the interview determine how your goals align with theirs. If you haven't already, put together a five-year career plan. You should be ready to revise your five-year career plan every year, determining where you are and building again from there, so you can adjust accordingly.

"My goal is to grow within your company and learn the skills and knowledge I need to advance into a sales management position in the next few years. I want to find a home with an organization that offers stability and growth, and I think I would find that with ADP."

"I see myself in a position where I evolve into a go-to clutch player for my team leaders, inheriting more responsibility, and ushering my team to greater success while helping orient those who are newer to the team. In five years, I expect I will be even closer to achieving my career goals and setting my eyes on newer goals I haven't even thought of yet."

"Great question. I just revisited my five-year career goals, which I do once every year or two, depending on where I am in my development. In the next three years, I've set some pretty aggressive goals for myself, learning and picking up new skills and experiences while I advance my career. Once I've completed my onboarding in my next position, I hope to grow within the department, achieving incremental success that inches toward our mutual goals. I have some charts with me that detail my plan if you'd like me to share."
