Interview Tips – Questions That You Might Be Asked (Part 2)
The hiring manager might ask you for your future plans. It’s best to answer in an honest way how you foresee yourself in the medium and long term.
This isn’t a beauty pageant so they wouldn’t need mushy answers here. Tell them about how you envision yourself in a company. Interviewers take this as a clue whether the job seeker is really goal-oriented, or just out there to look for “experience”. This question also tests your commitment to a job. If you’re the type who cannot settle in a company for a year, and keeps on jumping from one fence to another, then you’re more likely to get negative impressions, and not get hired!
Try to focus on responding how you would like to grow with the company, and the industry, rather than just how you see yourself. This gives the impression that you’re concerned about their company, too, and not just with landing that job.
