It’s the question etched on every interviewer’s notepad when quizzing potential recruits and often a tough one to answer – because not everyone can answer
Where do you see yourself in ten years time?’
This question still remains one of the most commonly asked in interviews – but have you actually ever asked this question to yourself and answered truthfully?
“Until you’re in total control of your own operation, I genuinely don’t think you can answer this question realistically because your future is in the hands of so many other people and not just yours,” says Paul Hulance, managing director of Clark James, the recruitment group.
Hulance would know as, having worked at a senior level in a FTSE 100 company before launching Clark James, he’s seen how a ten-year plan in a traditional employed position just doesn’t materialise.
Working within a franchise group however lets you build a successful business by utilising the brand, knowledge, culture and experience of others needed.
At Clark James we’ve developed a successful recruitment franchise that offers genuine and dedicated support, enabling you to build the business you want so you can ultimately answer the most common question still asked at interviews.
