Hi, there! It’s Richard McMunn here from the interview training company PassMyInterview.com.

Future simple

In this tutorial, I am going to give you 2 PERFECT ANSWERS to the interview question:

“Where do you see yourself in five years’ time?” Now, this question is pretty much

guaranteed to come up during your interview. It does not matter what interview you have

coming up, you are probably going to get asked this question. Now, the majority of people

will either say… “Well, I plan to still be here.” Or, they might say… “I might

have moved on in five years’ time.” Now, both of those standard, short responses are

NOT the answers you want to be giving to this interview question! So make sure you stick

around, because I am going to give you two perfect answers to that interview question:

Where do you see yourself in five years’ time? Now, also, please do TELL ME THE NAME

of the interview you have coming up in the comments section below the video and I will

give you some additional interview questions to prepare for, in addition to the ‘where

do you see yourself in five years’ time’ one. This interview question… I'm going

to give you the perfect answer for it now. This is one of the most common interview questions

that is asked by hiring and recruiting managers. And it is asked for two very specific reasons.

The first one, is to assess what your ambitions are for the future. Are you still going to

be in that role, and also whether you are going to be committed to their organization?

OK. Because remember, they are going to be putting lots of time, effort and resources

into training you up. And then if you say: “Well, I will probably have moved on for

another company, because my ambition is to work for a different organization.” The

chances are, you probably won't get hired! So let us now work through these two answer

options for the interview question: Where do you see yourself in five years time? Please

take notes and decide which one is most suited to you. Here is the first answer option. “I

see myself still working for you in this organization, fully competent in the role and performing

to a consistently high standard. I am now at the stage in my career where I want stable

and fulfilling employment with the same company, and having researched you in detail, you are

obviously going to be around for many years to come and I’d feel proud to call you my

employer. I’d see myself as a respected member of the team; someone who can be relied

upon to deliver on their promises, and I would also like to perhaps help train up new members

of staff who occupy a similar position to myself.” Now, that answer option to the

interview question, where do you see yourself in five years time, is perfect for somebody

who is applying for a role where they are required to stay there for a long period of

time, or the employer would like you to be there for a lengthy period of time. That might

be a receptionist role, or a call center role, or an admin assistant role, where you are

most likely to stay there for a long period of time. Now, what I like about that answer

is you say… NUMBER 1 - you're still going to be working there. NUMBER 2 - you say that

you are going to work to a very high standard. You are actually looking for stable and fulfilling

employment. So, you’ve reached that part in your career where you want to stick with

somebody and also, you've looked into them and you will feel proud to call them your

employer. Now, what is also good about that response is that last bit there where it says:

“I would like to help train up new members of staff.” That is clever because you can

only actually do that if you've been in a job for a lengthy period of time, and you

have the experience to pass on to other people. That is perfect for somebody who is looking

for long term, stable employee employment. Now, what about somebody who is looking to

advance, or be more ambitious in their role? Perhaps to make it up to a manager or senior

level? This is how to respond to the interview question, where do you see yourself in five

years’ time, if you are one of those people who wants to develop and progress within a

company. Here we go. “I definitely see myself still working for you here, because my ambitions

and drive are a clear match for the ambitions you have as an organization. I would be fully

competent in the role, respected by my work colleagues, my manager’s and clients, and

I would also be continually pushing forward in my role to achieve greater things and improve

year on year. Because I am ambitious, I would also have hopefully gained advancement to

a more senior position, providing of course, you see me as part of your future plans for

the success of your company.” That is perfect for somebody who is looking to develop and

advance within the same company. So, there’s two perfect answers there. Decide which one

you want to use. And also, if you would like more brilliant answers to tough interview
