如何规划自己的职业生涯：面试英语导读："您想做到什么职位?"，这是一个富有挑战性的问题。要知道，每一个公司都希望自己的员工能够"芝麻开花，节节高"，能够挑起更沉的担子。对这个问题的回答，能够反映出您是否富有进取心，是否具备为时代所需要的创新精神，是否能为公司作出更大的贡献。 这一课中，我们就来探讨对这个问题的回答。

where would you like to be in 5 years?

"where would you like to be in 5 years?"

"where do you see yourself five years from now?"

"五年内您想做到什么职位?"

对于面试者来说，这是个很棘手的问题，但它却很受主考官的青睐。因为，主考官想通过您对这个问题的回答，来了解您对未来发展的计划，更重要的是，判断您的计划是否切实可行，是否跟该公司未来的发展计划相一致。

对这个问题，您可以先给出您的目标：

"i would like to follow the management career path"

"我想沿着管理这条路走下去。"

"i would like to try the secretary career track"

"我想尝试秘书工作。"

您还可以给自己提出更高的要求，当然，这种要求一定得是您通过努力能够达到的，这一点，您一定要"心中有数"：

"i'd like to be a senior manager of your company in five years."

"我想在五年内成为贵公司的高级经理。"

或者：

"although it's certainly difficult to predict things far into the future, i know what direction i want to develop toward. within five years, i would like to become one of the best engineers in your company."

"预测未来当然是不容易的，但我清楚自己的发展方向。我想在五年内成为贵公司最好的工程师之一。"

您还可以说：

"i would like to become the expert that others rely upon. and in doing so, i feel i will be fully prepared to take on any greater responsibilities that might be presented in the long term."

"我想成为别人可以依赖的专家。为此，我要作好充分的准备，以便在未来可以担负起更大的责任。"

除了个人的发展外，如果您能向主考官表明您会给公司带来进步的话，更能打动主考官：

"in five years i want to be a valuable part of this company and help it to reach its goal. i also want to manage a challenging project and bring in latest technology that will benefit the company."

"未来的五年里，我想成为贵公司里有价值的一员，并希望帮助公司实现目标。我还想经营一个富有挑战性的项目，引进最新的技术，给公司带来效益。"

如果您的经验还不够充分，可以在"好学"这方面展示自己，比如您可以向主考官表示在他们公司里，您能学到很多东西，而且，您很愿意在该公司发展自身：

"in the next five years, i want to learn new things, gain more experience and increase my value to your company. i want to learn my job well and eventually to achieve a position of higher responsibility within your company."
