A brief YouTube-short monologue by Will Humphreys advising job candidates how to answer the interview question “Where will you be in five years?” He emphasizes authenticity, realistic planning, showing ability to plan and lead, and mentioning both professional goals (leadership, training) and personal goals (family, charity) to signal forward-thinking to employers.

How to answer the question, where will you be in five years? You know, people do not get this answer right because they think they have to give some big answer or they give it a shallow one because they just don't want to over commit. What we're looking for on the employer side is someone who can plan, someone who can see forward. So being authentic is going to be key in this. And what you want to talk about is what you really do know and what you don't know. So I've had someone answer the question beautifully before saying, I don't know exactly where I want to be in five years, but I want to be a better leader. So if your company can provide me with the right training, I would love to use that skill to help better your clients or they talk about things outside of their domains. Even though that's not my primary focus, I love hearing it when people tell me, yeah, I want to start a family or I want to help a charity. Having some thoughts around a full picture of your life tells them that you're a planner and that they need to hire you right away.
