  • The candidate should be particular while mentioning their long term goals.

  • The candidate cannot blindly say that he will be CEO of any specific company or build a business empire. If the candidate has a clear mind and a plan of action, they can rely upon saying that.

  • The purpose of this inquiry, on the other hand, is to determine how well the candidate knows how realistic his goals are in today’s reality.

  • You can prepare your answer by including the primary career goals you will be pursuing after completing your MBA and allocate why these goals are essential to you.

  • Try to be aspirational and inspirational. Usually, the time period will be 5 or 10 years. Also, chalk out the alternative plans if things don’t work out in the future how these goals reflect your values.

  • The end goal should be: what you want to be when you grow up.
