I’ve had a couple of interviews where they asked about long term career plans, but these are entry level roles. Not sure what they expect to hear. How do you usually answer that?

I struggled with that too but here's what I came up with. I've done some where I basically say that I want to grow and to learn as much as I can to bring more to the team and that in the long run, I would love to be a manager or whatever that equivalent is. It sounds great and it's something that is reasonably attainable no matter where you go. It's great for any job regardless of where you're applying. If you can, put some of the skills you've learned into your answer. It sounds good and it generates interest with the interviewer.

That’s a good idea!

The entire point is they want to see what you have planned in your future. They want people that will stay for a good amount of time, not long enough for you to get decent and leave.

Be honest. I am planning on going to school next year, or I want this to be a part time role during school until I start my career, or I would like to advance and grow my career with that company.

True, however if it usually isn’t to do with your job it’s an instant no

I guess it would be to gauge your longevity in the industry and potentially with them as an employee.

Of course but not everyone looks to go up, I guess lying is the way forward haha

I gained weight during my last relationship (probably around 30 lbs, and I’m 5’9”). Before my relationship, I felt like I could get any guy. But I’ve been single for 2 years now and it’s been so hard to date. I’m not sure if maybe I’ve lost confidence, but I legitimately don’t know how to get a guy to be interested. Any pointers?
