To get to know you a bit better, there's a good chance your interviewer will ask you some questions about your career path and your career goals. This question is asked to simply get a feel for your motivation and drive as you look to join the Procter and Gamble team.
"Honestly, my career has progressed a touch slower than I would have once liked. I have held a couple of positions that didn't offer the growth and learning that I was expecting early in my career. However, I have bounced back nicely. I feel that this particular position at Procter and Gamble would take my career exactly where it should be for my level of education, experience, and ambition."
"I love this question, and I can't imagine that there are very many people who can say that their career has progressed exactly as expected. And if they can say that, it tells me they haven't taken very many risks or disrupted the status quo. Because of my entrepreneurial approach in general, I'm open to new opportunities and willing to take risks in order, ultimately, to enjoy greater success. When you approach your career in that fashion, you never know where it will take you - except on to greater challenges and success. At Procter and Gamble, I truly feel like the sky is the limit for my career potential."

Career progression can be a touchy subject, especially if you feel that your career hasn't progressed as well as you would have liked. No matter how you answer, be open and honest with your interviewer while assuring that the career expectations you once had are leading you to be a part of Procter and Gamble's future success.

As a student in the final semester, I can say that my career is yet to develop. People say I am ambitious and I myself think of myself that way, so I'll do my best to achieve the most and fulfill my need for excellence and results.
