Companies spend a lot of time and money recruiting and training new employees. The interviewer wants to hear that you will not be a short-term employee and plan on staying with their company for a long time. A good answer is that you plan on staying with the company until you retire.

If you plan to move on to another company or leave the area, describe your situation and the time frame. If you respond that you plan to leave for another company, you will likely be passed over. Be honest, but give the interviewer reason to believe that you plan to stay with the company for a reasonable amount of time.

"If you hire me, I plan to stay with your company until I retire. I am 33 years old, so that would be about 25 to 30 years."
