3. How long will you stay with the company?

As long as I continue to learn and develop my capa- bilities. As with any partnership, I intend to fulfill my commitment and meet challenges as they come.
ItÕs my hope that, as long as I perform well on the job and make contributions, IÕll be considered a valuable em- ployee. And as long as IÕm making a contribution that is valued, IÕll have no reason to leave. However, if for any reason I donÕt meet the companyÕs expectations, I donÕt expect to remain on the payroll. So I look forward to stay- ing as long as IÕm productive.

9. Do you want to be president of this company?

Yes. I donÕt know too many capable, ambitious peo- ple who donÕt aspire to the highest management level within their companies. I aspire but I perspire, too. It gets better results.
I also realize that there are many other steps along the way through which I can learn, contribute, and be re- warded in my work. I want to do the best job I can, moving on to the next challenge when IÕm ready. If I continue to do that, IÕll automatically rise to the top.

10. Did you want to be president of your (current/previous) company?

Yes. Whenever I think about my goals and plan how I will achieve them, I aim high. However, IÕm also a real- ist and know there can be only one president.
Being president of my (current/previous) company would have given me the opportunity to carry out plans and ideas for improving and enhancing the company, its operations, and its products. But wherever IÕve worked, whatever the scope of my position, IÕve done that to some extent.
