Want to know how to craft the best answer to the interview question "Where do you see yourself in
five years"? Well, you're in the right place! In today's video, I'm going to share with you
three steps to craft the perfect answer every single time so that you can nail the interview
and get the job. Are you ready? Let's get started. But first for all the guidance that you need to
get hired, make sure that you're subscribed to my channel, click that subscribe button

cause I don't want you to miss a beat. So why do employers ask this interview question
anyway? The goal of this interview question, where do you see yourself in five years is so
that the interviewer can know if this role would be a good fit for you or not.
The truth is that employers do not want to spend time efforts and resources investing in
a candidate that number one, the role is just not a good fit for, and number two, they don't want
to invest in somebody that's going to potentially leave in a few months or a year because that means
waste of time and resources. And so to answer this interview question, you have to be strategic. I
have heard many candidates mess up on this part of the interview because they don't know how to craft
a good answer, and they don't know how to connect the dots for the employer. It's simple. And I'm
going to show you how to do it in this video. Here's the exact formula that you can use. Number
one, start by showing that you want to get a full grasp of the role that you are applying for and
you want to become excellent at what you do. Next express excitement to join the company,
to be a part of their mission, their vision and company culture, and show how this aligns
with your interests and number three, show your desire for growth within the company
and within your career. Let's dive into each of these steps in detail. So you first want to
start off by simply showing that you want to get a full grasp of the role that you're applying for
and that you want to become excellent at what you do. The truth is that you won't just come
into a new role and immediately be promoted to leadership. They want to see that you can prove
yourself in your role, get results, and then move on to the next step. You want to earn the
right to be promoted by far too many candidates in this step. Show how they wanna become a leader,
a manager, director, but you first want to show that you want to become excellent
at the role that you are being hired for. Here's an example of what I would say, "In five
years, I want to be an expert at delivering proven marketing strategies to our clients
and have learned a great deal within my role." So you can see here, we express that we just
wanna get really good at the role that we've been hired for and produce results. And now let's go on
to the next step in the formula. Next you want to express excitement and enthusiasm for being
part of the company's culture, which is a huge part of what makes up a company, its mission,
its vision, its values, and how you want to start to contribute to that culture.
Companies want true advocates for their mission and anybody that they bring into their sphere of
influence or within their culture. They want to show that you are 100% committed to that
culture as well. So in this part of your answer, show excitement and enthusiasm for their vision,
their mission and their values and how this aligns with things that you're interested in.
Let's see this example in action. "I know how much your organization values its mission and
its culture. And I plan to participate ongoing in building that culture and participating in events
in and outside of work that help move the needle forward and to raise awareness." And lastly,
now you want to show your desire for growth within your role within the company and within
your career overall. Once you've proven yourself in the role, you've become great at what you do
and you're delivering results. It's a natural step in anyone's career progression to want to
move up either to leadership or managerial roles. And that's what you want to show in this part of
your answer. Employers want to see people that want to grow within their career that want to move
up and that want to continue to contribute to their organization. So here's how you'd answer
this. "And lastly, once I've fully grasped my role and proven my success, I want to grow
into a leadership role and be considered for a supervisory or management level role here at ABC
marketing." So there you have it, the exact three part formula to answer the question: where do you
see yourself in five years in a strategic way, in a proven way, that's going to get
results and ensure that you nail the interview. Let's see this entire formula in action.
Oh, great question. So in five years, I want to be an expert at delivering proven marketing
strategies to ABC's clients and have learned a great deal within my role. I know how much your
organization values its mission and culture. And I plan to participate ongoing in building
that culture, participating in events in and outside of work to help move the needle for
and raise awareness. And lastly, once I've fully grasped my role and proven my success, I want to
grow into a leadership role and be considered for supervisory or management level roles here at ABC
marketing. Yes, you did it. There is your answer for the, where do you see yourself in five years
interview question. I hope that you implement these strategies to nail your next interview.
