Where do you see yourself:
Here's what the resume advice company Resume Edge recommends as a sample answer to the question, "Where do you see yourself in ten years?"
In ten years, I endeavor to have refined my strategic and client relations skills. I intend to be a leading expert in estate planning. After having proven myself as a senior manager, I hope to help shape the strategic direction of estate planning services. I could do this in any number of official roles. The important thing is that I will continue contributing my abilities in a challenging and rewarding environment.
More advice:
Where will you be in five years?
This is a very common job interview question. Think carefully about your plans. Really answer it for yourself, Where do you see yourself in five years? Where do you hope to be?
The interviewer is looking to find out a few things with this question. First, are you the type of person who plans ahead and sets goals? You should be. Second, do your goals match those of the company and the position? Your goals need to fit the career path for the job. They don't want to lose you in a year or two.
You always have to think, "What do they want me to say?" and "What should I say that will help me get this job?" So don't say, "I hope to be sitting on a beach in the Bahamas doing nothing?" even if that is true. Don't say anything about money or your own interests, if possible, but use words that show your interest in the company and its profits.
Say something like, "I hope to be working happily for your company, being promoted so I can do the best job that I can."
This is a very good question. Many organizations will ask this question within their interview process. If one is not prepared to answer this question, it could be a downward turning point during the session. I would image all of us should be prepared for this type of inquiry. In order to see yourself in the future, you must have a vision. OK, what is a vision? A vision is a clearly articulated picture of the future you intend to create. In other words, it's a dream. However, a dream without direction will never be realized. Therefore, where we might see ourselves in the future needs a method of approach that will result in successful outcomes to bring that very vision into reality. We need to develop a road map for ourselves that will bring us to our overall goal or objective (the vision). OK, lets look at a very, very simple example: Lets say I was just coming out of the military at the age of 22. I have had this reoccurring vision of a great satisfying job as an accountant in the corporate sector, however I do not have the knowledge or the credentials in order to gain employment in that area. Thus, I must develop a road map leading to the future I intend to create for myself. Thus, I map out a starting point leading in that direction with short term objectives (or short-term wins) that indicate I'm staying on course and moving closer to the end result. The road map might look something like this: * First stop - Research a college offering a program of study in accounting * Second stop - Visit the college and speak with a college Rep. * Third step - secure financial information to include G.I. Bill * Fourth stop - Apply to the institution * Fifth stop - Enroll for the first semester * Sixth stop - Check off courses completed and courses left to take. OK, this would continue until graduation and through employment possibilities after graduation. Granted, its a very simplistic example but you can get the drift. You must have that vision with short-term wins that will give you then incentive to strive on toward your overall goal and objective. Warning!! Stay focused on the overall goal, and do not let yourself get side tracked by some short-term win that might lead you off course. Keep focused on the prize. Many individuals see a so called short-term win that leads to another short-term win, and so find themselves moving horizontally instead of vertically toward the long-term win (the vision). Where do I see myself in 5 years? I'm not telling...it would spoil the surprise! Viper1

There is a sight that morphs your face, though it's not very accurate. I can't recall the name, nut you can go to googe, and kust type in, "WHAT WILL I LOOK LIKE IN TEN YEARS?". Click on whichever one looks like a better website. Hope this helps.
Such questions are fairly typical of those you will be presented with when applying for a job
As with most things, it is all about preparation. If you fail to prepare then be prepared to fail. There are many 'standard' questions. There are no standard answers as most are asking about you personally. Because of that no one but yourself can answer many of the questions you will be asked. Think about such questions in advance and have your answers ready. There are many sources of the type of questions you may be presented with. The internet and your local library being the main ones. Be positive; do not repeat what you have read in books or on the Internet. By all means read sample answers but do not repeat them verbatim. The person interviewing you will have read all those answers too.
There is more to having a successful job interview than just answering the questions asked. Many would say much more. First impressions count for far more than many realise.
Dress for the part. Be punctual and polite. Listen to what is being said. Answer only the question asked. (Don't ramble)
The best way to answer this question would be to say you want to grow with the role you will be offered and will be in a management role in 5 yrs.The basic reason the interviewer asks this question is because he would like to see if you want to stay in his company for a long time as he would like to benefit from person who would stay in his company longer than for temporary and also he would like to see you would want to grow in your role rather than staying the some postition in that long time. I do accounts and the way i answer is " I want to be working for a prestigeous company like yours and try to see myself as an accounts manager in 5 yrs".
The company is asking you to imagine what you'll be doing in 5 years. They probably want to hear that you'll still be with their company, perhaps working toward a higher position or dreaming of management.
The best of my answer which I give to the Interview board is, "I want to see myself as the top of the management of the organization and make my organization successful and the number 1 in the market. pecpte(.)com
tell them a position from that company that is higher than the one you applying for
It all depends who you are and what you like to do.Answer truly where do you think you'll be.
tell them what you can see yourself doing...do you see yourself being a leader? getting a higher salary? designing new projects for your company? what you wanna do
I want to be a leader in the work I perform.
That is a question you should prepare yourself for before the interview. Answer the question honestly and state what your career goals are, especially as they relate to that particular company.
If you are asked a question revolving around program assistant status in a job interview, then you should answer it much the same as you would answer any normal question in a job interview: honestly.
There is not a difference between describing yourself and telling about yourself in a job interview. This is a time when you want to try and sell yourself so the employer will want to hire you.
Hi, This is a personal question and should not be asked in an Interview. The interviewer may ask thi question as a one-off question to check how you can handle surprises/situations. Just be yourself and tell the interviewer that you would not like to answer this question as you think that the answer will NOT in any way affect your performance in this job. Hope this helps. --Rahul.
When telling an interviewer about yourself in a job interview, focus on the positives. Also make it concise and don't make yourself seem selfish or full of yourself. Say your strengths that would apply to the job you are interviewing for.
just be yourself
This question is asked to determine your goals and motivation. You should be honest and include answers pertaining to work like, job title, achievements or salary.
use this as a guidelines , as i go on my journey someday and looking for my own job.
tell me something about yourself, what are you strengths/skills/weaknesses? Where would you like to be in 3 years? 5 years?
Where do you see yourself in next few years if you are selected in the company?This is a very common job interview question. Think carefully about your plans.
