5. At Company ABC we prefer to hire individuals with longevity in mind. Where do you see your career 5 years from now?
How to Answer
Interviewing, vetting, and hiring a new team member is an expensive and time consuming effort for any company. Assure the interviewer that if you were hired on with Company ABC that you plan to stay long term.
1st Answer Example
"As you can see on my resume, I have strong tenure with my previous employers. I would love nothing more than to find a long-term home where I can naturally grow. Over the next 5 years I would love to be promoted within Company ABC as I prove my strengths and abilities."
2nd Answer Example
"In 5 years I would like to see myself as part of your executive team. I would also like to see the size of my portfolio triple in value from where it is today."

"I too have longevity in mind. In 5 years I see myself having benefited from continued education and courses in a senior or management role possibly handling large loss claims or handling claims of represented claimants."

Nice! Can you explain why you're looking for something long-term? What benefits will this provide you and why is this the company you want to work for over the long haul? It's great that you want to one day be in a senior or management role handling larger claims. Great job!
