Where do you see yourself in 5 years?




The interview is going well, you’re laughing, they’re laughing, nodding and smiling; then like a pile of bricks, the elephant in the room, the question that teachers, parents, partners, partners parents and now your potential employer wants to know: Where do you see yourself in five years? Momentary pause, panic, the dreaded FIVE-YEAR-PLAN is back.

 At 15, “I’ll still be at uni –duh”, vague replies to friends, to family “I’m keeping options open”: now it seems to matter.

Do you tell the truth? The truth, no idea! No not true, I want a lush apartment, an über cool job – challenging but lets me have long weekends with the girls: Europe, stomping around in Jimmy Choos waving my Chanel Bag and gorging on la pasta. Ciao bellá.
