English interview: Work Objectives

Career Goal

Sometimes the recruiters in the interview will ask the candidates questions about their work goals. The goal is to understand the style of their work and their views on the job. Of course, because the applicant is not very familiar with the job he is applying for, the answer to the questions is not necessarily comprehensive, because in practice, he will encounter problems not considered in his plan, therefore, it is better to give a general description of your plan objectives.
