If the interviewers show interest in your professional development, particularly year-over-year, then that can indicate that they value your growth and might incorporate professional development opportunities in their planning. Your answer will help them understand how much you've thought about your career trajectory in this particular role or field as well as the level of seriousness you might take your professional development. If you aren't sure how to answer this question, then be sure to share that you are actively searching for development opportunities as you solidify where you will be based.

"I would welcome any professional development available to me as it relates to this company and industry. For this position specifically, I am aware of a few regularly-held webinars that offer new tips and tricks to streamline workflows and maximize database maintenance. I find it useful to attend webinars from time to time to keep current on applications and databases, and they're great at providing a lot of useful information in a short period of time. In addition to webinars, there are a handful of yearly regional conferences that explore new offerings in technology for systems and databases, so I would, of course, appreciate any opportunity to expand my knowledge and awareness in that capacity."
