The interviewer asks this question for two reasons. They want to see if you have professional goals and a plan to achieve them. Setting goals to improve and grow professionally shows that you are motivated and dedicated to your profession. The interviewer also wants to see if your plans include working for the company. DaVita invests a lot of money and time in hiring and training employees, and the interviewer wants to know that you will be a long-term employee if hired.
