Your answers to these questions, should they be asked, will help you make a favorable impression. No one expects you to say with absolute conviction what you plan to do five or ten years from the time you graduate and enter the job market. However, many employers will ask this question. For seniors especially, it is important for you to realize that you are being selected, not only for what you can contribute today, but for the potential you are showing for tomorrow. Today begins a developmental stage that brings about change, growth, and future direction.
Tomorrow is the era that allows leadership qualities to blossom fully.
In summary, choosing your career direction calls for a close look at yourself. Make an honest appraisal of your interests, values, abilities, and disabilities. Determine your interest. Recognize your aptitudes. Evaluate those traits that will make you an outstanding candidate and be able to discuss them clearly and concisely.
