The interviewer asks this question to see if you have professional goals and see yourself with their company in the next five years. When people set goals for themself, it shows they are motivated and want to improve themselves, which are great qualities in an employee. The interviewer wants to hire a tile installer who envisions being with the company in the next five years, showing dedication.

Avoid describing personal goals for the next five years since the interviewer wants to hear about your professional goals. You also want to avoid saying that you see yourself with another company or plan to switch professions. The interviewer is less likely to hire you if they think you will be a short-term employee.

"In five years, I see myself promoting to a foreperson position with your company. I will have seven years of experience as a tile installer by then, and will be ready to supervise and teach others. One of the reasons I applied to your company is for the professional advancement opportunities and leadership training you offer, and I am excited to have this opportunity to interview with you."
