5. How does this position fit into your career goals?
How to Answer
This question is similar to 'where do you see yourself in five years', but the interviewer wants to know how this position is good for you. Is this position a stepping stone into a director position you'd like one day, if so talk about how it will help you.
Prior to the interview you should think about why you want this position and how it will help you. If you're not sure what you want to do yet, that's okay. You can tell the interviewer that you are focusing on this position currently and if moving up in this field is something that seems interesting down the line, you'll talk to them.

2nd Answer Example
"To be honest, I've been focused on this current position and getting into this career that I haven't thought about where I want this career to take me. I would love to discuss potential options with a manager further down the line, but would like to focus on this position for now."
