IN THE NEWS: “Where Do You See Yourself in 5 Years?” on WetFeet

Monday, August 24, 2009

I was recently interviewed by WetFeet for their article on answering the ever-popular "career goals" question.  Of course, I've talked about this topic before, but in this article, I give some of the key don'ts when it comes to answering this question.  For instance:

"In your job."

As you can imagine, it may be a little brazen-and awkward- if you tell your interviewer you want to replace her. Instead, vaguely describe the position she holds as something to which you aspire. Something like, "I see myself as a brand manager in consumer products, managing a team of employees," perfectly describes where you want to be-without directly saying it's her job you covet.

Check out the full article at WetFeet.
