Focus on the professional goals you have planned for the next five years and how you will achieve them. If you are new to the industry, concentrate on gaining experience and taking continuing education courses. If you have been working as a Fraud Investigator for some time, you may plan on pursuing higher education or an administrative role. Be sure to highlight that you see yourself with the company in five years.

Avoid saying you have not planned that far in advance, that you want to go into private practice, or that you see yourself with another company in five years. If you do not have professional goals, the interviewer will determine that you are not motivated and inspired to grow as a Fraud Investigator. If your goal is to start your own practice or move on to another company, the interviewer may not want to invest time in hiring and training a short-term employee.

"Since I am new to this field, my professional goals in the next five years are to be hired by your company and gain experience. I appreciate that your company offers on-the-job training and a mentorship program, which is one reason I applied to your organization. I want to gain experience finding and identifying healthcare fraud, learning how to conduct interviews and interrogations by working with your seasoned investigators, attending industry conferences, and working on my continuing education hours."
