Where do you see yourself in 5 years time?

....and I'll bet you didn't get the job either. I can GUARANTEE if you answered that question with me like that, the very next thing you would here is " thanks for applying we'll call you if we decide to move forward" TRANSLATION: Buh Bye you didn't get the job.

Seriously, how ignorant of an answer is that. Even if you're applying to flip burgers the guy hiring you wants to "think" you want to be a "burger flipper supervisor"

Anyone who hires a person wants to know they are not wasting their time training you, if they think you won't be around, and they need to do it all over again with someone else six months down the road.

If you were hiring someone to flip burgers how much would you believe that they WANT to do it? Even if if they the words I think they would see right thought it. Now just because you do not want to be there does not mean one will do a poor job or even want to go higher. We all have to do things will do not want to do and we might as well do the best we can at it.
 
I'll be in a supermarket looking at the woman in front of me having a conversation with the check out girl about how her son is these days since he left for his big job on the other side of the country while I'm thinking 'ffs there are people waiting lady'. When I say people, I mean me. There are other people waiting but I don't really care about them. I've got a frozen tub of ice cream in my basket and I'd like to be able to eat it as soon as I get home. At this rate it will be all melted. I bloody hate that. Stupid inconsiderate shopper. HURRY UP you mad person.

Or did you not mean five years to the minute?
 
I'll be 52. My daughter will be 19. My son will be 14.

I hope by then I can buy a decent sized house for my family. This renting is just not cutting it.
