How to Answer: Has your career progressed as expected?
Advice and answer examples written specifically for a Dnata job interview.
4. Has your career progressed as expected?
What You Need to Know
Career progression can be a touchy subject, especially when things didn't go as planned or the opportunities for growth at your previous company weren't as advertised. Whatever choices led you off course, freely discuss them now and how you have course-corrected. Ideally, you want to showcase what you have learned and where you would like to take your career next, literally or figuratively, locally or globally. "Where will your career take you? Working locally, there are plenty of development opportunities. You'll be able to make progress in a big team that works globally and has a great future." Talk to the interviewer about your career goals, milestones, and the progression you would like to see in the future.
