The interviewer asks this question to assess whether you can fulfill new responsibilities at their company and whether you fit well with their culture. When putting your response together, align the responsibilities and opportunities at your current role with the one you're applying for. Assure the interviewer that you've done your research on the job and the culture by speaking about what makes you excited for the new job.

"In my current job, I really like that I was able to plant roots in the field. Over the last four years, I've been able to hone my training facilitation skills, as well as my course development skills. In addition, the company has given me a lot of opportunities to broaden my skill set. However, I feel there's not much upward mobility for me outside of becoming a training supervisor. I would really like my career focus for the next few years to be instructional design. When I found your job post, I thought that it would be the perfect role for me because of the way the training department is structured in that there is a dedicated course developer. I also like the idea of working with the center of excellence in coming up with courses that help improve the company processes. In the next few years, I will work to carve my career path to becoming a senior instructional designer."
