Tell me about some professional goals you have set for yourself this year.
The home building industry is always working to improve and shift to new trends, which means that PulteGroup wants employees on board who love the idea of enhancing themselves professionally, as well.
Show the interviewer that you have the motivation and desire to develop yourself personally, and professionally. Perhaps you have engaged a mentor, or set some lofty sales goals for yourself this year. Whatever your approach may be, be sure to tie it into how this goal will benefit PulteGroup, should they choose to hire you.
"This year I have set the goal to be promoted to a territory sales manager; whether that means applying to roles such as this one, or being more aggressive in gaining a long-awaited promotion with my current job. Currently, I perform many of the tasks of a territory sales manager; however, I do not have the title. I have been applying to companies that I believe will allow me to grow in my career, which is another way of pursuing this crucial goal."
"This year, I have attended three seminars and workshops on effective project management and goal setting. Smooth projects always create happy customers, contractors, and employees, so, for that reason, I feel that I can never learn enough on the topic. I look forward to taking what I have learned so far and applying the concepts to this role with your company."

My goal is to have at least 10 closings by the end of the year. To attend an amazing course that will help catapult my career to new levels (which I am attending now) and always to be the best possible version of myself.

You're off to a great start! How does that goal of 10 compare to your previous volumes or goals set? Is it an increase? It's great that you shared that you're attending a course. Feel free to elaborate on what that course is and how it will benefit you and the organization if hired.
