This question is focused on your career interests, not your personal interests. Start with the interests that inspired your career pursuits. Then, explain where you want to take your career. Regardless of life's unknowns, assure the interviewer you could see yourself aspiring to be a tenured employee at General Electric if graced with the opportunity. Before the interview, create a five-year career plan. If you wrote one a while ago, update it, evaluating where you've come from, where you are going, and where you currently stand in the framework of your plan. Then, plan five years out from there. Evaluate where General Electric fits into that plan.

"My father was a real role model for me when I started college. I remember he told me that I should look at starting college as the first steps towards my career. He helped me form my first five-year career plan. I've updated it every year since. I have it with me if you would like to see it."

"Five years from now, I imagine myself so comfortable in my job and in my skills that I am not only putting my all into advancing my career from within with the company, I end up working with at the end of this job search and these interviews. I also imagine myself developing newer employees and acting as both a coach and a mentor."
