QUESTION 14 OF 35

If you could start your career over again, what direction would you take?

A hiring manager can tell a lot about your personality by learning about your other career interests. But your answer could also reveal if you are committed to the career path you chose and this opportunity, or if you'd leave it once something better comes along. Focus your answer on a direction you would have liked to explore in your current field of expertise or earlier opportunities you missed that are similar to this position you're contending for.

"I do not regret the direction I have taken my career; however, if I had to start over in a new direction, I would likely pursue my Degree in Education and become a teacher. Both of my parents were teachers, and they seemed to have very fulfilling careers. I enjoy coaching and leading others, so any tasks in my current career related to these skills are welcome."

"I am delighted with the direction my career has taken. If I could change anything, I would perhaps have furthered my education to include a unique focus; however, I have no regrets!"
