At Korn Ferry, we look to hire those who will be a long-term fit. Where do you see yourself five years from now?

"Ideally, five years from now, I would love to see myself growing into a more prominent leadership role within your organization. My career interests align very nicely with your company's goals which helps me to see a great long-term fit here."

"Five years from now, I would like to supervise or manage a team of my own with Korn Ferry. I feel like I am progressing in my career at a rate that will make this a possibility."

It's impossible to know where you'll be in five years. Regardless of life's unknowns, assure the interviewer you could see yourself aspiring to be a senior employee at Korn Ferry if graced with the opportunity.

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.
