For example, if you tell the interviewer you are looking for a steady job while you work toward your college degree, the interviewer will know that you will likely be a strong employee for the next few years. However, if you seem unsure, the interviewer may assume you won't last long or that you won't be a dedicated employee.

"Right now, I'm working to earn my degree in Information Technology; that's where I see my career headed. I'm hoping that this sales position will increase my communication and customer service skills because those are valuable tools for workers in IT. I'm also hopeful that, after I earn my degree and prove my dependability and work ethic to the team at this store, there will be opportunities to pursue a job in the IT department in the Best Buy corporate offices."

"After three years at my current company, I am ready to take on a management position. However, my company does not have any open management positions and likely won't for several years. I've heard so many good things about Best Buy, and I believe this is the right company to start advancing my career. I'm looking for long-term employment, and I hope to eventually become a store or even district or regional manager."
