Job Interview Questions and Answers

Question 2:  Where do you see yourself in five years? 

Assume that you will be promoted two or three times in five years, so your answer should state that you see yourself working at whatever job is two or three levels above the job in which you are applying.  Do not claim that you will be "running the company" in five years.  You might want to add that you understand your promotions will be earned through hard work and that you do not assume you will be promoted just because you stayed with the company.   Good answer:  "I see myself as head of the Sales Department in five years.  I've already proven that I have the ability to manage a large sales staff at Acme, and I expect that I will be promoted to a senior management position in the future provided that I work very hard at my job and earn the promotions, which I expect to do."
