Interviewers will ask this question in order to determine your plans for development and your ability to plan the future. Perhaps you want a position as the lead accounting clerk or some other supervisory position in the future. If so, be sure to provide details as well as a time frame. For example, you could say that you will work toward earning your first promotion within two to three years and then follow up with your ultimate goal; you would like to be a supervisor or perhaps even the department head for the company in a five or six year period. However, if you have not yet set goals, you should state that you have been focused on career development rather than your future plans.
