"In five years, I hope I'm working for a company that encourages professional growth and values my skills. I would like to be in a management position, so I plan to pay close attention to the managers I have in the next few years and ideally find a mentor who can help me achieve that goal. I will definitely focus on gaining as much diverse experience as possible so I am a top contender for a supervisory role in the next five years."
Describe the career goals you have set for yourself and how you plan to achieve them. Some examples include:
-Attending graduate school to gain deeper knowledge in your career field
-Working to move into a management position at this company
-Developing a strong network of professionals in similar roles
You can also share your personal goals such as starting a family or buying a house, but if you do this, connect the personal goals back to your professional plans (i.e. "I hope to buy my first home in City ABC. Since I want to work in City ABC, this will make my commute much shorter.")
