This question is always a tough line to tiptoe as you answer because you want to be open and honest with your career goals while also showing a long-term commitment to the company that you are interviewing with. Prior to your interview, be sure to review the job posting to familiarize yourself with the work involved and determine whether growth opportunities are available at this company. Should opportunities be available, and should they be listed, answer this question by mentioning one (or a few) of these by supporting your answer with your educational/professional qualifications and personality traits, making you the perfect candidate for this employer.

You may also answer this question by mentioning an exciting career you saw on their website and by supporting your answer with your educational/professional qualifications and personality traits, making you the perfect candidate for this employer.

Be sure to provide an example related to the position/company you are applying for. Should your answer completely differ, such as wanting to work in a completely different industry, you may be immediately disqualified. The interviewer/employer may believe you applied for their position simply because of financial incentives and that you would leave should an opportunity in another field become available.
