To be considered for the position, describe your career aspirations related to the company you are interviewing with. The interviewer wants to determine if your goals include their company and if you will be a long-term employee if hired. Companies invest a lot of time and money when interviewing, hiring, and training employees. The interviewer wants to determine that you will be worth the investment if they choose to offer you the position.

Companies invest a lot of time and money into their employees, and they need to consider their investment when interviewing applicants. Even if you want to start a business of your own, you should avoid mentioning that to the interviewer. If they feel you would use their company to gain experience and leave shortly after, they may pass you over for another candidate.
