What are your plans for the future?
Answers
My future plans can be summed up in one sentence: to make a great career in an international corporation. Of course, I have some positions on my mind. As you can see I dare do dream big. At the same time, however, I realize I have to learn the ins and outs of the job, prove my skills and dedication to work, and just then I can think of promotion and better jobs.
