Step 2: The Interview and Waiting:

• Where do you see yourself in 5 years? This question consistently pops up in interviews and depending on your career stage can be difficult to know how to answer.
• If you knew what an employer was thinking during the interview, then you would know what areas to focus on. Luckily, Careerealism is giving you an inside track to just that.

Step 3: The Workplace:
