#4 What are your long term goals?

teobacham
About this episode
  • This question is asked to see how serious a candidate is about his or her career. 
  • Some people might not know their long term goals, and some people might have long term goals of becoming rich and retiring early. 
  • Those are incorrect answers for this question. The type of answer you want to give is an ambitious answer that shows you really love your career. A good interviewer will read between the lines and find out if a person is going to be a hard worker or just a mediocre one. 
  • Being descriptive and shooting for a big goal is something interviewers want to hear.
