"Thank you for asking. I just revisited my five-year career plan, which I do once every year or two, depending on where I am at in my goals. For the next two years, I've set some pretty aggressive challenges for myself. I think of it as the cartography of my future. The nearest destination on my map is picking up new skills and experiences with a company whose goals and values align with my own. Once I've completed my training in that position, I hope to be growing within that organization, being mentored and accelerated toward our mutual goals. I have some charts with me that detail my plan if you'd like me to share?"

One's self-development should be as never-ending as one's determination. One can surmount seemingly unachievable goals by breaking them up into smaller, more easily attainable tasks. One way a person can go about this is by putting together a five-year career plan. If you haven't already, start by creating one starting from your college experience. Next, determine where you currently stand on your trajectory of that plan and build out another five-year plan from there. Following this exercise, you should be able to revise your five-year career plan every year, determining where you are on that map, and charting your path from there. This way, you can adjust and correct your itinerary accordingly. You'd be surprised how doing so will aid in you your interviews.
