The interviewer asks about your career goals for several reasons. They want to know if you have set professional goals for yourself and if those goals include working with this company. People who set goals for themselves are looked upon favorably as it shows that you want to improve yourself and take steps to advance your career. If you are happy being a Roofer and do not want to advance in your career, that is fine, too. If that is the case, explain that you are happy working as a Roofer and that your career goals are to improve with experience to be the best you can be. Describe your career goals and explain what you will do to achieve those goals.

Avoid saying that you do not have career goals or believe in setting goals for yourself. If you respond that way, it shows you may not have the drive and motivation the company is looking for in a Roofer. A better response would be to say that your career goals are to be hired by their company and become the best Roofer you can be while gaining valuable experience.

"My short-term career goal is to be hired by your company as an apprentice. Then, I would like to gain three or four years of experience before advancing to a management position. I am excited by the opportunities your company offers for professional advancement, which is one of the reasons I am excited to be interviewing for this position. Before moving to a managerial position, I plan to take a business course at the community college that emphasizes leadership and management of employees."
