Do they want to make you a salary earner for life? You have to save up and build your own dreams too. Tell them, you are actually going to leave 28 Likes 3 Shares |

Tell them you can hardly or cannot imagine a better job option with the growth path you envisage under them in few years. Sometimes you balance out folly with equal measure o folly in reverse direction. 113 Likes 5 Shares |

An experienced interviewer does not even need to ask this question. From merely reviewing the applicant's CV you should be able to tell if he or she will stay in the organisation for at least 3 years  18 Likes |

I will actually tell the interviewer that I chose not to answer such question... On the other hand I can tell the interviewer what he or she wants to hear... I'm not bound by what I say during interview but by terms and conditions on the offer letter... 3 Likes |

Tell them that you chose their company with the vision of growth in your professional, personal and financial aspect but the first two takes the centre stage while financial growth is secondary. So, a better job that guarantees those two are extremely rare and money is not everything. In essence I'll feel fulfilled if I have the opportunity to work here. 5 Likes |

Don't say yes outrightly, and don't say no too, just answer this way: I am looking for a role where I can grow, contribute, and build long-term. If this position offers me the right challenges, opportunities for development, and a good work culture, I see no reason to leave. My focus is on adding value here, not constantly searching for the next job. 8 Likes |

Tell them you are not a quitter ,you dont see a better job once you find purpose in their job and its fulfilling your inner sense of fulfillment, it will be hard for you to want another job. Then of course when the other better job comes along you quit and move on Interviewers ask stupid questions |
