  • Hi, it's Linda Raynier of LindaRaynier.com

  • Career Strategist, Speaker and Coach.

  • And in this video I'm going to show you exactly how to answer the

  • "Where do you see yourself 5 years from now?" interview question

  • in a way that gets you closer to landing the job offer without putting off the interviewer.

  • And here's a hint.

  • The answer doesn't involve you saying that you want to be a Manager or Director in the next 5 years.

  • So if you struggle with this interview question then pay attention,

  • because I have a secret formula

  • that I think works across any job title and any industry.

  • Now before we answer this question,

  • we need to understand why the employer is asking us this in the first place.

  • As realistic or unrealistic as that may seem,

  • if you give any hints that you plan to be elsewhere,

  • and not work at this company from now well into the future,

  • then they'll consider that as a red flag and likely not consider you further in the process.

  • So if you actually truly plan to run a business in the next 5 years,

  • maybe a good idea to NOT mention that as part of your answer.

  • You want to ensure that your answer speaks to this job and only to what this job has to offer.

  • Sometimes companies don't know if they'll have a higher level role for you to go into in the next 2, 3, 5 years.

  • So if you make it sound like it's your expectation to be promoted into a Manager title,

  • Manager role or Director role in the next X number of years,

  • then they'll likely err on the side of caution and not consider you further,

  • because they may not be able to provide you what you want.

  • Or they'll see you as overly ambitious and using this opportunity as a stepping stone

  • to get to the next level.

  • Okay so now we understand why this question is asked,

  • I'll now give you my magic formula for how this question should be answered.

  • There are 2 parts to this answer

  • and in this example, I've used an accounting type of example.

  • But you'll understand the structure as we go along.

  • So, part 1 of the answer is:

  • So that is part 1.

  • Part 2 is:

  • The reason why this formula works so well is because firstly, you're keeping it general.

  • You're not talking about specific titles you want to achieve,

  • which may put off some interviewers.

  • And instead, you're talking about "what you'll do" instead of "who you'll be" in the next 5 years.

  • And secondly, you show that you're eager and that you truly want this job.

  • That you're focused on this role, and this role only.

  • That you simply want to help and give value.

  • So if you've been saying anything other than this

  • and you like this little 2-part formula that I've come up with to answer the,

  • "Where do you see yourself 5 years from now?" interview question,

  • then feel free to use it, and let me know how it goes.

  • So now you know how to answer this interview question,

  • but do you know if your resume is good enough for the interview in the first place?
