What to look for in an answer:

You are looking to understand the interviewee’s career ambitions and their career plan. The interviewee will attempt to appear as positive as they can in response to this question and may say that they will stay for a long time. You will need to look past these appearances and understand their motivations for wanting to join your company and what are the things that would make them stay or leave.

Red Flags to Watch For:

If the interviewee seems like they will leave for unjustifiable reasons, or will not stay for long, it is a red flag.
