thursday - Lesson 4
Yes or No?
YOU NEED TO TALK ABOUT YOUR FUTURE
CLEARLY & CONFIDENTLY IN 3 STEPS
Truly understand "Your Future"
"Where do you see yourself in 10 years?" is a common question. However, candidates often fail to grasp the true purpose of the question.
The best answers convey a specific and focused thought-process about your career. The answer should centred on your personal progression and also the colleagues and department as a whole. You must be able to simultaneously discuss the individual and bigger picture. Many candidates struggle with this, but this lesson will guide you.

"How" > "What"
There are two types of candidates: those which successfully list their career goals and those who specifically describe how they are going to achieve their goals in a specific fashion.
From the feedback ThePlasticsFella has received, candidates don't explain the 'how' because they just don't know how to link-up their sentences. The infographic below should help overcome this issue.
