Do you anticipate any changes in your life within the next 2-3 years that may prevent you from continuing employment here?
"I have no plans of relocating and all of my family live close by. I have traveled before and have come to a place in my life where I want to find a stationary position and grow with a company. I don't foresee any events that may cause a need for me to move any distance that would prevent me from being able to continue employment here if I am offered a position."
"My boss would describe me as a motivated individual. Motivated to help my patients, motivated to lead in a positive work environment as well as better myself as a clinician and person."
Knowing what goals you have and any changes you anticipate in your life will give the interviewer an opportunity to evaluate two things: 1. what positions are available that won't disrupt your plans and, 2. are you interested in having a long-term relationship within the company?Either way, being upfront and honest is always appreciated.
"I recently became engaged. Although we have not set a date yet, we have agreed to wait twelve months before the marriage. My fiance' just passed the Bar exam here and has been offered an opportunity to join an existing law firm. Presently, our plans are to stay where we are and build a career, not just work a job. Also, we do not plan on having children for at least two years after our marriage. We both feel that being able to become established in our careers and save for our future would be the responsible thing to do before starting a family."
