    Career ambitions examples
    Hi.. I filling job application. There is a question that I don't know how to answer. The question is 'Career Ambition'. A brief description of your career path, what you want to do, where you want to be and when.

    We can't answer this as we don't know what your career ambitions are.

    You have to figure out what your ambitions are. The job you're applying for, what's your goal with this job? Is it a paycheque, or a career? Do you hope to go as far as you can in this company?

    For example, if I were to apply at McDonalds and they asked what my career ambitions were, I'd likely say "To get a decent wage for hard work". Why? Because I don't want a career at McDonalds.

    If I were to apply to a company that's in my area of interest I'd write "My ambition is to work my way to the top, to learn all I can, work hard, and advance in the company".

    This is up to you. Are you applying for a job, or a career?

    So tell them, do you want to go into management, do you want to do this or that.
    Only you know what you life and what job you want

    See, this is where I get into trouble. Not one employer wants to read "My ambition is to take over the world and rule all, but for now I'm happy flipping patties". ;)
