Interview Question: "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?"

Whether you're a new graduate or someone with a few years of experience under your belt, you might come across interview questions about where you'd like to go in your career during your job search. One of the more common versions of this question is, "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?". Although it may not be the most creative question, it's an important question to ask yourself anyway, and you should have a response prepared for the interview.

Read how to answer the question, "Where do you see yourself in 5 years?".


Job Searching with a Criminal Background

We've had a few job seekers write in, asking how to deal with questions about having a criminal background. It's a question that comes up for nearly every job search, and it's usually not an easy subject to discuss. Employers have an obligation to do due diligence in the hiring process, so that they don't hire an employee that will harm others or the business. On the other hand, if an ex-offender answers truthfully, they risk not getting the job. If they lie, they risk being terminated once their record is discovered.

Findings from the February Job Trends Report


Last week, Simply Hired released its February job trends report, which found that hiring across the nation continued its slow start in the second month of the year. Job openings increased 3.8% from January 2011, with a year-over-year improvement of 49.7% from February 2010. Several industries had substantial growth in February, with Military (22.7%), Travel (20.9%) and Agriculture (20.0%) leading in increases.
