The most difficult question was, "What do you see yourself doing in 10 years, and how did you get there?" I had not ever really thought of what I would be doing, in general, in 10 years. Would I be the plant manager? Would I be at another location? I pondered this for a while, and answered, "I will be working hard for this company, and will have worked toward my goals within the engineering group. I will have also created great work relationships with my fellow employees. With the use of my previous technical/business work experience, my dual-master degree, analytical skills, and my vis a vis skills, I see myself as the Plant Manager of this, or, perhaps another plant/division." |
