"In five years I hope to be working for a company that allows me to use the business skills I've learned in college. I would like to be in a management position so I plan to learn the company inside and out by immediately finding a mentor, building my skills, and gaining as much experience and exposure as I can so I am a top contender for a supervisory role in the next five years."

A career-minded individual who takes charge of their own development typically has a five-year career plan, and has written out their core values and their mission statement. This practice makes it easier for a professional to identify the right match, understand their motivators, and the type of work environments that enhance their productivity and drive their level of success. Consider revising or creating a five year career plan prior your interview, and aligning what opportunities you are looking for with what they are looking for in a candidate.
