"A weird question asked in interviews"

Interviewer: Where do you see yourself after 10 years.

Me: well…I don’t know.

Interviewer: In a surprise, what! you have not planned your career.

Me: Please help me plan my next 10 years right away.

Can you guarantee me 10 years secure job in your organization and a minimum percentage of increment every year?

Can you assure that you will not hire a boss who will let my job die an unnatural death because of his devilish bossism?

Interviewer: How can I assure you this?

Me: Ok, can you show me your 10 years organizational plan so that I can align my plan.

Interviewer: 10 years? Oh! we have planned just for next 2 years.

Me: Silent

Interviewer: Still you should plan and set your goals, you seem to have no aspiration for your career.

Me: Well, but aspirations can never be planned. We can plan an action. And planning 10 years action today doesn’t seem feasible.

As of now, I have just planned that if you offer me, I will join your organization and that’s it.

Interviewer: a long Silence……with a perplexed look.

cool!

There has to be a plan, a vision. Short term, medium term and long term. Every plan comes with an understanding of the changes they may force one to abandon or improve or modify their plans. I can’t imagine a life without plans and I can’t forsee working for anyone who has just a 2 year plan.

Good

Nice
