....in 10 years time !!

Probably still in the Middle East, most likely with 2 more kids, probably still in relatively the same job, but hopefully a step or two up the ladder.

hmmm ... i dint read all the comments... but according to my point of view; after 10 years or so if iam alive, iam definitelly goin to think about my past and hw i dint make use of my time as quality time....

as a matter of fact u actually made me think abt this thnks.

In other words, you should justify your answer based on the current position that you are applying for and not how you see and/or would like to see yourself in the next 5-10 years span of time. Well then, thanks for the tip :)

well, i applied that time for an accountant job and after i passed the technical test & the personal interview which was made by the finance manager, they called me later for the HR manager's interview, he was from Germany and he told me that "we know that you passed in the technical part, but now it's time to speak about ur self" so he started asking many questions like (married?, Kids?, expected salary?, visa status?, hobbies) then he moved to questions like "if u r in so & so situation what will u do?" and other philosophical type of question and finally he asked me "Where u c ur self after 5 year and in which position?" then i stupidly said "Senior Programmer" for which he was shocked to hear, he expected some answer like "chief accountant" or "accounts manager" or something from that sort to indicate that i am willing to improve myself, but since i was speaking a lot about my hobby (programming) i continued dreaming and said that i want to become a senior programmer in big companies like Microsoft or Macintosh.

and then i got to know unofficially from one friend working there that i was rejected due to my last answer.

so basically they ask this kind of questions to see if u r really interested in the field which u r in or not, therefore our answers should be prepared to satisfy their requirement.

I second Enormous.

@Osamabawab : I'm curious with your answer. Is it possible for you to elaborate your answer here so that we'll have an idea on how to answer such question in future? :)

Hoping it will be more better than today..

If I'm still around, then relaxing at home and building that Kit Car I always wanted to :O)

I don't know if I'll be existed after 10 years, I don't know about 10 days, 1 day and even for the next moment:D

watching FIFA in Doha, Qatar!

:-)

In ten years time I don't think I'll have any hair left.

well said fea :)

Man proposes, God disposes

Dont knw wat will happen in future ..

Allah is the one who knw the best for us :)

one day i applied for a job in international company and after i passed the technical interview i was told that the HR manager will interview you too.

due to my answers for this same question (where u c ur self after 5 years) i got rejected, so it is very important to prepare answer for this question just in case.

i feel u r HR manager interviewing me !!

I tend not to think to far ahead,if your planning to far ahead you miss out on the now!

Any thing can happen,

Dont plan so much......
