“What are your career goals?”
Focus on the idea that you want to grow professionally, but realize that there may be a variety of opportunities in the company as time goes on. Avoid naming titles—you may shoot too high or too low.
Good answer: “I’ve learned from the experiences I described earlier that I enjoy leadership, communication, and negotiation. I’m interested in learning to manage projects, people, and business situations. My goals are to work for a manager I can learn from, to develop on-the job experience, and to achieve or surpass the goals that are set.”
This links the past and future and shows business awareness and achievement orientation.
Bad answer: “I haven’t set any specific goals, but I know I want to work here.”If you don’t have any goals, how do you know you want to work here? Are you focused on learning, or have you already c completed all the learning you intend to do?
