Where do you see yourself in five years? This question is usually asked when applying for a job. What is the best and worst answer and why?

An interviewer doesn't care where you're going to be in 5 years, as long as you're not going to bail on the job in the near future, he or she will be just fine.

The answer actually doesn't matter. What does matter is that you have a Five-Year Plan. An interviewer doesn't care where you're going to be in 5 years, as long as you're not going to bail on the job in the near future, he or she will be just fine. The interviewer just wants to know that you are capable of planning and thinking about the future.

Just don't try to BS your way through this question. Be honest about what you want to be doing in 5 years- even if it's not a fully fleshed-out plan, it shows that you've got goals and are working toward them.
