Prior to 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 Korn Ferry fits into that plan. Doing so will assist you in delivering the perfect answer to this question.
