hey everybody Don Georgevich here with
job interview tools if you have a job
interview coming up your interviewer is
going to ask you where do you see
yourself in five years from now and your
answer could mean the difference between
getting the job and losing it so if you
want to learn how to answer this
question in a way that brings you closer
to landing the job then let me know by
hitting the like button below and we'll
jump right in now if you hear today
you've probably been asked this question
before in an interview and perhaps
you've been struggling to come up with a
good answer well I want to give you my
ultimate formula for successfully
answering this question so employers are
more likely to offer you the job now for
starters employers only ask this
question because they want to understand
your vision that's right they want to
know that you will be here working for
them in the long term and when you can
offer them a vision of where you see
yourself going as it's aligned with
their company and the position at hand
then they'll have a greater reason to
believe that you'll be a long-term
employee now this question is also used
to weed out the wrong people so if your
five year goal is to own your own
company then that response will signal
to the employer that you don't plan to
work here for long so you want your
response to be aligned with where this
job is going and maybe you don't know
that but I urge you to push yourself to
think about the next logical steps for
yourself as it's aligned to your
occupation I mean this is not a
commitment and no one is going to hold
you to your five-year plan this is just
an outlook of where you think you might
be going so we just covered the
reasoning behind this question now let's
look at a simple two step formula to
crafting your own answer to where do you
see yourself in five years now the first
part it kind of goes like this you know
in the first two years I see myself
getting my CPA as insert your title here
then I plan to enroll in auditing
coursework and then perhaps some
self-study programs until they become
very proficient with internal auditing
procedures and then I'll start working
towards my CIA sort
occasion now the second part of your
answer part 2 this takes it even a
little bit further and expresses a
genuine love of what you do so in my
third and fourth year since I love
teaching I plan to start teaching
auditing classes here at insert the name
of the company and mentoring other
junior auditors to help them achieve
their CPA you know that's all there is
to it
were you expecting more than that I mean
you can use this simple two-step answer
for just about any profession I mean
just talk about growing helping and
serving the company in any order you
want and that's the secret ingredient
that must be in your answer so to create
your own answer just model what I did in
the CPA example and apply it to what you
do voila
you have a response the perfect response
to where do you see yourself in five
years
and with an answer like that
interviewers will love it companies like
to hire people who enjoy sharing their
knowledge and mentoring others I mean
it's such a rare employee characteristic
today but one that's immensely valuable
