"In my spare time, I enjoy reading and tinkering, creating new software and apps. I thrive on creating solutions to problems and identifying opportunities for innovation. I've come to believe one must create a sustainable plan in order to continually innovate. The last thing I want is to land a job somewhere that distracts me from my passions. So my plan is to find a position in an industry-leading company that is forward-thinking, with core values aligned with my own, that supports my propensity towards innovation. I want my career to feed into my passion, and vice versa. Would you like to see my five-year career plan? I update it every year and have it with me."

One's self-development should be as never-ending as one's determination. Perhaps you've heard a person can drive from coast to coast, in the dark, only seeing as far as one's headlamps allow. This analogy suggests one can surmount seemingly unachievable big dream goals into smaller, easily attainable goals.
If you haven't already, put together a couple of five-year career plans. Start with creating one starting from your college experience. Next, determine where you currently stand on your trajectory of that plan and build another five-year plan from there. Following this exercise, 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. Doing so will aid in you your interviews.

Accenture advertises its internship program as "a chance to work with the most talented and skilled professionals in the business industry." They're looking for upcoming talent, "the best," and are offering to enhance the skills of passionate individuals. Before they can size up your fit into their culture, they're curious how you are "plotting your future career," curious what your goals are, and whether you're looking to jumpstart your tech career and level up your skills by "getting a head start" with them.
