Where do you see yourself in five years?

I've carefully thought through my career goals in my five-year career plan, and I update it every six months. I also take my work/life balance very seriously because I always want to be at my professional best and take every measure to shore myself up for success. The opportunities for development at Wells Fargo seem to be the best choice for meeting my targets! This is why they are at the top of my list.

This question aims to determine your long-term career goals, whether you have a plan, and whether you look at this job with Wells Fargo as a long-term employment opportunity. If you have a five-year career plan, revisit it, and customize it to a career with Wells Fargo just as you would your resume and query letter. If you don't have a five-year career plan, consider drafting one. Take your big-picture goals of where you would like to be in five years, break them into smaller, more attainable goals, and customize them to the opportunities Wells Fargo could present.

Make sure you are in a relatively quiet place with as little background noise as possible. The camera angle should be at eye level. Positioning it too low will make you come across as domineering. Too high, and you'll seem too weak or small. Center it, and make sure your lighting is balanced. Maintain eye contact in front of the camera as if you're speaking face-to-face with a person. Be mindful of your facial expressions. Furrowing your brow while concentrating on how to answer a question can easily be misinterpreted as exhibiting anger and raise a red flag.
