Interview Advice-Please

[tickle_fan031]

Hello All
I've got an interview on Monday and I'm in the middle of preparing for it. Now one interview questions that seems to rear its ugly head most of the time is:

"Where do you see yourself in 2 (or 5) years time?"

I always seem to make something up from the top of my head at the time but it is usually along the lines of, I want to be happy in my job and not feel like I cannot progress. I would like to be able to enhance my career, learn from other people and then let others learn from me.

But I'm not sure whether that is a good enough response so I thought I'd ask you guys.

So how would you respond to that question in an interview situation?

Maybe there are some managers out there who have conducted interviews and have asked the same/similar question- what kind of responses are you looking for?

Any ideas would be most welcome😀
Thank you!

What you WON'T want to say is..."That all depends on my Parole Officer".
:stickout

What you could say is..."as far as desire, opportunity and the room in organization will take/allow me.

What you DON'T want answer to the question.."where to you see yourself in 2 to 5 years"...is.... "Doing 5 to 10 for assaulting the manager who refused to hire me".:lol

Well afterwards my thoughts were that I was unsuccessful and they were confirmed today by a phonecall. However, I did receive very positive feedback so it's not too bad I guess.
Thanks for asking 🙂
