      What You Need to Know

      Answer by telling the interviewer about your short-term goals as an assistant principal, preferably while reinforcing that your goals are related to the position and school for which you have applied. Should your short-term goals significantly differ from the job or school's immediate needs, the interviewer may assume you will leave the position too soon.
