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

Focus on describing exactly what professional goals you have planned for the next five years and how you will achieve them. If you are new to the industry, you might want to concentrate on gaining experience and taking continuing education courses. If you have been working as a healthcare professional for some time, you may plan on pursuing higher education or an administrative role. Be sure to highlight that you see yourself with Dignity Health in five years.
