The interviewer is interested in where you see yourself in five years and if you are interested in a specific specialty. Career goal questions can be intimidating for someone just entering the field. Before your interview, take some time to think about what you would like to be doing in the next five years. This question often comes up in interviews because they are interested in how this job fits into your future goals. If you're not sure, think about the area you are interested in right now. If you haven't taken an exam to specialize in performing sonograms on a specific area of the body, think through a timeline that might be realistic for you. Set a few goals that might help you get there. If you are interested in working with OB/GYNs, explain that you plan to move towards women's health in the next few years. Until then, you want to take every opportunity to work with patients and learn what you can from each experience.

"Having worked as a general sonographer in a large hospital for five years, I've been working towards an ARDMS certification in RDCS. Echo has always intrigued me, and my current employer has allowed me to train in this area. I love the fact that this position will be working in echo, which I see myself continuing with in the next five years."

"I'd like to specialize in breast ultrasounds at some point in the future after I get a basic grasp on the field in general. I recently lost a loved one to breast cancer and would like to be a part of the team of medical professionals that help identify cancer and abnormalities."

"As you can see from my resume, I currently hold certification from ARDMS in musculoskeletal sonography. I have loved working in this specialty and want to continue doing so in the future. That's what makes your position so appealing to me."
