Lesson 1: What are your plans for the future?

One of the questions typically asked during an interview is about your future goals. Employers want to be sure that you won't be moving on to another job right away. New hires are expensive to bring on board and expensive to train. If you leave in a hurry, they'll be right back at square one.

This question is also a good way for them to determine if your career goals are a good fit for the company. The most successful candidates are the ones whose ultimate aims align with those of the organization, even if they don't spend their entire career working for the same employer. (And let's face it, most don't.).

Finally, asking about your goals for the future is a way for the hiring manager to make sure that you have some – in other words, this question shows whether or not you have direction and some sort of plan. You don't need to wind up exactly where you're planning to be in five years, but you need to be pointed in the right direction.
