QUESTION 22 OF 35

Where do you see yourself in two years?

The interviewer wants to know if your professional goals are with their company or if you will be a short-term employee. It costs a lot of money for companies to hire and train new employees, and they are less likely to hire someone who will be gone in two years or less. The interviewer also wants to know if you set professional or educational goals for yourself, which shows you are motivated and inspired to learn.

Avoid saying that you have not thought about where you will be in two years or that you see yourself working for another company. A lack of professional goals shows you might lack motivation, which will make you look unfavorable to the interviewer. If you say that you see yourself working for another company, the interviewer might pass you over for a candidate who will be a long-term employee.

"In two years, I see myself working for your company in a mentorship position. I am interested in training new apprentices and feel I will be capable enough with two more years of experience. I was excited to learn that your company has a mentorship and apprenticeship program, which is one of the reasons I applied for this position."
