      Answer Example

      "The reason why I applied here is that my current employer is not going to expand. The owner is content with the one location and has expressed that he might sell in a couple of years. Many bartenders have been there for 3+ years, and I don't see the growth potential for me. But, here I know you will open 5 locations in the next three years, and I want to be a part of that growth."
