Today I interviewed for a department trainer position. I was going up against 5 others for the job - one of them I don't consider a threat at all, the rest are going to give me a challenge. However, out of everyone, only one has been with the company longer than me.
I think I interview extremely well, and my boss told me I did a damn good job during the interview, and told me I was obviously very well prepared for it - didn't have to think about answers, I had all of them on the tip of my tongue. I also brought a brief resume with me along with a 30, 60, and 90 day action plan (they require an action plan for everything except entry level positions).
When they asked me where I see myself in 2 or 3 years, I think I had the right answer when I told him I was aiming for the moon.. as a minimum, I told him I saw myself as a department manager by then, possibly training for store management, and had my sights set on regional/corporate.
Got my fingers crossed - I'll know when I get to work tomorrow!
