If you haven't already, create a rough draft of a five-year career plan. Break it into attainable goals to help you achieve your goals. Offer some details of this vision to the interviewer, revealing the detail of your ambitions, with an understanding that sometimes these goals get modified along the way. Inquire about what kind of growth is available in the particular department you are interviewing with. Assure the interviewer that you desire a long-term opportunity with Honeywell by discussing the career path you would like.

If you are not sure what kind of growth opportunities are at Honeywell would be a good fit, then break down your goals, where you hope to be in five years, and that if you were hired at Honeywell, you'd want to stay with the company long term. Then ask them how likely they think Honeywell would be willing to collaborate in a mutually beneficial way for you to reach those goals.
