One of the most vacuous questions I have ever heard included in a job interview. Great for the egotist, and frustrating for the average applicant who often has little idea of the structure of the company he/she is applying to join. My answer generally was that I wanted to be in a position to rewrite the interview profile. In short, the interviewer’s job. Seems I remember most of them became defensive after that.

Why do they always ask that question? I knew I was staying in that company.

isn’t that your job at seeing my future?

Think I finally got it. Frank is being interviewed for the job as a psychic, and of course is clueless.

“Where do you see yourself in five years?”
So far, no one has ever asked me that question… not in a job interview nor anywhere else.

I am a procrastinating psychic. Do you want to know who will win the 2004 World Series?

Seems like she should know the answer……

Interviewer: Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Literal-minded applicant: In the mirror, same as always.
