　　職業志向（Career Aspirations）通常是指長期的職業目標（a long-term career goal）、計劃或夢想，而不單單是短期的夢想。當面試官問你「What Are Your Career Aspirations?」時，其實對方是希望了解你對這份工作的態度，從而考察您自我規劃的能力，確定你的潛力是否符合企業的要求，進而方便日後為你制定職業生涯規劃。

　　要想回答好與工作規劃有關的問題，你必須預先經過一番冷靜思考，並為自己樹立一個明確的目標。你應謹慎的想清楚，若干年後，自己到底想在公司晉升到一個甚麼高度的位置。如果你連自己追求的目標都無法說得明白，僱主也當然無法確定應否聘用你吧？對於目標高的應聘者來說，這類問題尤為重要。如果你應聘的是領導類的職務，那麼公司對於你的目標就定會更抱期望。

　　以下，筆者將為大家提供回答「職業志向」的參考短句，另外亦準備了兩大相關的範例，教你如何專業地應對提問。
