Recruitment Professional? Where Do You See Yourself In Five Years Time!
Come on, you know how it works. You’re a recruitment professional with around five years’ experience. You’ve conducted interviews, advised on how to structure interviews. Be honest, you’ve had a couple of interviews!
There’a always that perfectly valid question – ‘Where do you see yourself in five years’ time?’
Well, its time to turn the tables. Ask yourself now – ‘Where do you see yourself in five years’ time?’
You’ve doubtless climbed the ladder a few rungs since you started. You’re probably running a busy desk by now, or heading up a team. You’ve seen the candidates come through and you’ve placed a lot in good jobs. You’ve won new clients for your bosses’ portfolio, and helped to grow their business.
And there’s the thing. It’s their business. So, and here it comes again – ‘Where do you see yourself in five years’ time?’ Still helping to grow someone else’s business? Or do you see yourself running your own recruitment business?
The problem of course is that you like the idea of running your own show but, even with your entrepreneurial flair, which is far from uncommon in recruitment consultants, you’ve been daunted by the challenges that come with starting up.
You probably know them as well as you know interviewing techniques. There’s finding the finance, creating a brand, setting up premises and establishing the all important systems that make a recruitment consultancy tick.
It doesn’t stop there either. Does it? Taking the leap from employee to employer is an exciting prospect, but how much do your really know about the legal issues, and the tax implications?
So, the problem is that, no matter how much you want to give an exciting, dynamic, answer, your reply to the ever present question of ‘Where do you see yourself in five years’ time?’ is probably going to be ‘Here. Doing the same job’.
