Answer 8

they are looking to see where your priorities are, the way you think,etc.

This is a good one to ask people because it requires you to think.

Career wise what do you see?  I am not talking title wise.  What kind of job are you looking for insert that in there.  one that uses your skills and while allowing you to adance.  Learning from past mistakes.  

then say hopefully older, wiser, married, and kids.  

GOOD LUCK.  All I can tell you is that whatever you say, you best believe, because this is one of those....that it will be apparent when you are answering.  That's why they ask it, it's revealing.
