Here's how you can confidently respond to the question "Where do you see yourself in five years.

É fundamental saber onde quer chegar e por quais caminhos passar até chegar no objetivo proposto, levando sempre em consideração os desafios ao longo do caminho e qual estratégia irá usar.!

In an economics job interview, it's crucial to align your ambition, commitment, and alignment with the organization's goals. Highlight your long-term career goals, desire for growth and development, leadership potential, and value proposition. Be realistic and flexible, tying your response to the company's vision and values. End on a positive note, expressing enthusiasm for the opportunity to contribute to the organization's success and achieving your career goals.

While the intent is good behind the question, I find it grossly misused by many. Poor interviews always have a mention of such questions, without even understanding the basics and the current of the candidates. However if you were to still answer this, combine this with (a) where you have come from, what you have achieved so far and (b) where do you really want your career to head and how you can use the past to augment the future prospects. Its the better way to support your future plans.

In five years, I see myself continuing to grow and thrive in the field of [specific area of economics]. I am passionate about [mention specific aspect of the field], and I envision myself taking on increasingly challenging projects that allow me to deepen my expertise and make a meaningful impact. Ideally, I would like to [mention a specific career milestone or achievement], leveraging my skills in [mention relevant skills or competencies] to drive innovation and contribute to [company/industry goal]. I am committed to ongoing professional development and look forward to taking on leadership opportunities that align with my strengths and aspirations.

Being specific about, what you will be doing, where, with whom, achieving what, targeting what next. All of this needs to be articulated in a succinct and concise manner to be able to justify the plans for self growth and organisation growth with you.

It ain't a question to amplify just your big ambitions. "I want to become the Prime Minister of the country in 5 years" Nah, unrealistic. Specify your target but achievable and realistic goal and how you plan to take action to reach there.

É muito importante traçar planos factíveis pra ser alcançados pra não dizer coisas sem credibilidade, por exemplo; Como se ver daqui a 5 anos? Me vejo como presidente desta empresa, dependendo o recrutador pode não ver com bons olhos está afirmação por ser muito otimista.

It need not be a copy of a someone else's journey. You will have your own set of challenges, your own failures and your own success. Personalise how would you like to handle them, how you would offer value through the course and build a strong presence for yourself. Being unique gives you ample ways to curate your responses.

In a field like Economics, a blend of understanding unexpected moves is crucial. if you get taken by surprise and fall flat soon thereafter, its not meant for you. Develop some resilience and show your adaptable side. In the course of fluctuations, be ready with quick suggestions and solutions and it will demonstrate your abilities to handle the future uncertainities.

O networking é uma ferramenta poderosíssima pra poder se manter atualizado dos assuntos econômicos e aproveitar as oportunidades que possam vir a surgir.

Always, envision yourself as a leading expert in the field, driving impact and growth through innovative solutions and strategic leadership. See yourself in a decision maker role, leveraging your skills and experience to mentor and inspire others, and contributing to the economy continued success and expansion. Your goal must be focused to be a trusted advisor and thought economic leader, shaping the future of the economics and the industry, and making a lasting impact. Always compelled to continue learning, growing, and pushing boundaries to achieve this vision.
