Take care when answering this question and align your answer with the career opportunities which they offer. Such as one employee who they share "always dreamed of being a pilot, and safe to say her dream came true. She's now one of our senior first officers, flying the 787. She's also the founder of the Be Sweet Company, and mother to three small children." If you share a career path you wish you'd have pursued, such as a forest ranger, this could inform your interviewer that you are not happy in your current career path, and might leave the company in the near future in favor of other pursuits. A hiring manager will be able to tell a lot about your personality by learning about your other career interests, and consider other positions or career paths within their company which would be a good fit for you, and which you may not have considered. If you could do anything over, what would you do, and why, and how can Virgin Atlantic help you get there?
