Have an interview tomorrow and trying to think about my answers for potential questions. As a senior associate, what would your or a good response be for “where you see yourself in 5 years”? This is for an industry position by the way. Like I’m not sure how general or specific to be?

went through the recruiting process recently, my response to these questions was something along the lines of below:

"I can't be sure where I will end up in 5 years, but in the short term, I am excited to be part of your company and learn XYZ skills (list out what attracted you to said company) since it is lacking in my current experience."

It’s kind of a ridiculous question, because there’s no way you’d ever give an honest answer. Just say the thing you know they want to hear. You’re looking for a good long term fit, you like their company and would like to continue to grow your career there. Etc etc

Wondering if anyone can share the approximate timeline after applying to Target Corp. to hearing something from them. Applied 9/1 and on the applicant portal the status still says “in progress.” I got a great internal referral, but I’ve not reached out to the hiring manager. 😬 I know there were a few hundred applicants — what’s a realistic timeline and what could I say to the hiring manager if I reach out to them. Many thanks.

They suggested that we put SPHR ( Lapsed). I let it lapse in 2017. What is your opinion? Plus if I were to take another certification - should I take SPHR or SHRM-SCP?
