Job Interview Questions About Your Career Goals
1. What are your short-term and long-term goals?
My
career path is not set in stone. One thing I have learned is to stay flexible
to opportunities. I have read your literature and visited your Web site, and
know that there are open opportunities with someone with my background and education.
I know that whatever I do, I will continue to take on additional responsibilities
and challenges.
My
short-term goal is to find a job in a company where I can bring value to the
team. My longer-term goal is to continue to take classes in the evening in
management and eventually manage projects.”
My
last company was my first job out of college, and I’ve come a long way in
experience there. But now my goal is to join a larger company that has career
opportunities and programs for development. I have researched such companies,
and I know that this company believes in career development for its employees.
My longer-term goals are flexible, depending on the career path I establish in
the new company.”
2. What goals have you set for yourself in your career?
I
am very goal-oriented and have completed all the goals I have set for myself in
past jobs. My long-term goal is to become a specialist in the field of IT
management.
When
I look at goals, I like to remain somewhat flexible. I have found that the
world is changing so rapidly that it is not a good idea to lock oneself into
specific goals that may not be achievable. I do know that I want to continue to
advance and become more and more of an expert in my field. I would eventually
like to take on more responsibility as a project or product manager.”
I
am looking beyond what I do at my current company and want to advance when I am
ready and someday move into a management position. From what I know about this
company and your vision for employees, it is exactly the company that I am
looking to join. I know it will take time and hard work, but I am ready and
willing to do whatever it takes.
3. How do you see our company helping you achieve your goals?
I’ve
done extensive research on the kind of company that I want to be affiliated
with so that I can achieve my career goals. Your company is among the top five
companies that I have set my sights on. I believe the values of this company
are very much in line with the values that I have set for myself.
I
have been aware of the progress and growth this company has made over the past
four years while I have been earning my Bachelor’s degree. In fact, I did a
case study as one of my assignments in college using your company as a model of
steady growth. The career development program your company offers is of special
interest to me.
I
see this company as one that values its employees and the contributions that
employees have to make. I have had several friends who have worked here, and
they have shared some great employer stories with me. I know this ISA Company
where I could work collaboratively with bright people to achieve my goals.”
