Where do you see yourself in X yrs question? HELP!

It's usually 5 or 10 yrs but how would you answer this?  I have an interview tomorrow & really don't want to screw this up.  I'm really, really discouraged; I've been on several interviews but no offers.  I have about 2 mts b/f I'm laid off but it's just really discouraging!

Re: Where do you see yourself in X yrs question? HELP!

  • I HATE this question!  I get asked this at work and the truth is that all I really want in 5 or 10 years is to feel happy and fulfilled.  I can't name a title that I plan to have or a salary that I plan to make or a position I plan to fill.  I'm sorry this is no help to you - just wanted to express that I FEEL YOU!  Good luck on the interview.  It is so tough right now.  Look on the bright side:  at least you are being asked to interview!  :)

  • i hate this question too.  i am currently looking for a job and i know that i have talked myself out of at least one job by saying the truth instead of what they wanted to hear.  at my last interview, on monday, i was interviewing to work in a dr's office and i told her, "in 5 yrs i see myself leading a successful career in the medical field."  that was the best i had.
