What are your long-term professional plans?
"I am a new medical transcriptionist and am very excited about growing and learning in this field. At this time, I don't have any plans in the foreseeable future of going back to school or changing career paths."
"I have reached a place in my career where I want to find a place to become part of a team and stay there until retirement. Younger, less experienced workers may change jobs until they find their niche, but for me, being a medical transcriptionist is very fulfilling."
Knowing what goals you have and any changes you anticipate in your life will give the interviewer an opportunity to evaluate two things: 1. what positions are available that won't disrupt your plans and, 2. are you interested in having a long-term relationship within the company? Either way, being upfront and honest is always appreciated.
"I would really like to find a position where I can really become established and work for the long-term. I am satisfied with my role as a medical transcriptionist and want to continue along this path."
