Here's what the resume advice company Resume Edge recommends as a sample answer to the question, "Where do you see yourself in ten years?"

In ten years, I endeavor to have refined my strategic and client relations skills. I intend to be a leading expert in estate planning. After having proven myself as a senior manager, I hope to help shape the strategic direction of estate planning services. I could do this in any number of official roles. The important thing is that I will continue contributing my abilities in a challenging and rewarding environment.

• While it is not usually a good idea to try to be a Jim Carey in an interview, depending on how things have gone and who you are dealing with, you might inject a little humour here and ask: "When do you expect to be promoted?" ....or "When are you moving on?... This could easily break the ice. Seriously, you can easily respond that you have no idea as you have no idea what you are capable of so far, although you know it is a lot. Therefore, you want to make sure you are open and flexible to whatever opportunites present themselves. If you actually know what you want to be when you grow up, you could offer to conduct a seminar on how to actuate that.

• You know when you come to that common situation where someone asks you "Where do you see yourself in five years?" Yea you should call a person on that because that question is silly! You have no idea where you'll be in five years nor should you worry. I mean how depressing can that question actually be? If someone asked me that question five years ago I wouldn't have predicted my life to be like this nor would I have wanted to say my life would be like this, I'm not saying I'm unhappy with my life necessarily its just that in a span of five years a persons likes and dislikes change, the people around them either disappear, reappear, or show up for the first time. The things you once loved could become something you hate or vice versa. Aspirations change and feelings lose their magic. Yes you can say what you'd like to see happen in five years but I'm pretty sure it won't and five years from now when you look back on yourself answering that question you'll probably no longer want the same things. There's always hope but no definite so all you can do is live life like you have those five years to look back on...

• When an interviewer asks this question, they're asking where you see yourself within a company. They don't want to hear you say, "Well, in five years, I will be married to a handsome European man, touring the South Pacific in our yacht with a maitai in my hand." They want something like, "Well, that will depend on my individual performance and on the opportunities I'm presented with, but ideally, I will be..." Even if you're going, "Yeah, like I'll be here in 5 years..." act like you will be. They don't want to hear you saying you'll essentially use them to get where you want, and the minute the opportunity is presented jump ship.
• Some might think that you should not tell the interviewer that you want to move up the ladder of success, because they will fear that you might replace them or move on to another job. However, most would recommend that you answer with just the opposite: that you do want to be successful. A good manager wants his employees to be successful and grow in their careers because that benefits the whole company. If they don't want this, you don't want to work for them. As for the actual standards of success and specific career paths, they are very different for different people and different industries. It is most important to show that you do want to be successful.
• Think educationally-- higher degree? certification? Think leadership-- at least one step up from where you are at now.

Where will you be in five years?

This is a very common job interview question. Think carefully about your plans. Really answer it for yourself, Where do you see yourself in five years? Where do you hope to be?

The interviewer is looking to find out a few things with this question. First, are you the type of person who plans ahead and sets goals? You should be. Second, do your goals match those of the company and the position? Your goals need to fit the career path for the job. They don't want to lose you in a year or two.

If you want to create a table, you can run the CREATE TABLE statement as shown in the following sample script:
<?php
include "mysql_connection.php";
$sql = "CREATE TABLE Tech_links ("
. " id INTEGER NOT NULL"
. ", url VARCHAR(80) NOT NULL"
. ", notes VARCHAR(1024)"
. ", counts INTEGER"
. ", time TIMESTAMP DEFAULT sysdate()"
. ")";
if (mysql_query($sql, $con)) {
print("Table Tech_links created.\n");
} else {
print("Table creation failed.\n");
}
mysql_close($con);
?>
Remember that mysql_query() returns TRUE/FALSE on CREATE statements. If you run this script, you will get something like this:
Table Tech_links created.

It refers to the grid of nucleic acid molecules of known sequence linked to a solid substrate, which can be probed with a sample containing either messenger RNA or complementary DNA from a cell or tissue to reveal changes in gene expression relative to a control sample.

It is the process of classification of an analyte or a group of analytes from a sample according to physical (e.g. size, solubility) or chemical (e.g. bonding, reactivity) properties.

In RFLP analysis, the DNA of an organism is cut up into fragments using restriction enzymes. A large number of short fragments of DNA will be produced.
Restriction enzymes always cut at the same base sequence.
Because no two individuals have identical DNA, no two individuals will have the same length fragments. For
example, the enzyme EcoRI always cuts DNA at the sequence GAATTC.
Different people  have different numbers of this particular sequence and will therefore have different fragment
lengths.  some of them will be at different locations on the chromosome.
DNA were placed on the gelatin.
The DNA bands must be stained to make them visible.
Ethidium bromide-stained DNA will fluoresce when illuminated with UV light.
PCR techniques are used to produce sufficient quantities of DNA for this technique.

The ndd Command
Several of the network settings discussed in this article are configured using the ndd command. It is used to examine and set kernel module parameters, namely the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) drivers. Most kernel parameters accessible through ndd can be modified without rebooting the system.
To see which parameters are available, use the following ndd commands:
# ndd /dev/arp \?
# ndd /dev/icmp \?
# ndd /dev/ip \?
# ndd /dev/tcp \?
# ndd /dev/udp \?These commands list the parameters for the
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP), Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP), IP, TCP, and User Datagram Protocol (UDP) drivers. In this updated BluePrint OnLine article, the various drivers are listed in alphabetic order.
The Solaris 8 and 9 OE releases include support for the next version of the Internet Protocol suite (IPv6) and the Internet Protocol Security architecture (IPsec). These have additional drivers. A list of parameters for these drivers can be found with the following commands:
# ndd /dev/ip6 \?
# ndd /dev/icmp6 \?
# ndd /dev/tcp6 \?
# ndd /dev/udp6 \?
# ndd /dev/ipsecesp \?
# ndd /dev/ipsecah \?The IPv6 parameters for the ICMP, IP, TCP, and UDP drivers are also listed in the standard (IPv4) parameter lists. This article does not discuss IPsec, but the parameters are listed here for completeness. Neither IPv6 nor IPsec support will be supported in any Solaris OE release earlier than Solaris 8 OE.
There are also network interface device drivers with parameters that can be adjusted using the ndd command. The following command will list the parameters for the hme (FastEthernet) device driver:
# ndd /dev/hme \?The "\?" string is required to prevent the shell from interpreting the "?" as a special character. Using "\?" will list all parameters for the driver and indicate whether the parameter is read only, write only, or
read and write. The current parameter value or status information can be read by specifying the driver and
parameter names.
This example shows the output of a ndd command examining the debugging status of the ARP driver. (The output "0" indicates that the option is disabled.)
# ndd /dev/arp arp_debug
0ndd-specified parameter values are integers with "0" meaning disable, "1" meaning enable, or a large integer to set a time or size value. Setting parameters requires the "-set" option, the driver name, the parameter name, and the new value.
For example, to enable debugging mode in the ARP driver use this ndd command:
# ndd -set /dev/arp arp_debug 1Notes on Parameter Changes Previously, only some ndd parameter documentation was available from Sun. This has been a known problem. Since the release of the Solaris 8 OE, there is now documentation of selected tunable TCP/IP parameters. The book is the Solaris Tunable Parameters Reference Manual and is available on the docs.sun.comSM web site. Most of the parameter information for the Solaris 9 OE is also applicable to previous releases.
Network parameters set with the ndd command apply to the currently running Solaris instance; parameter changes do not last past system reboots. Once a system is booted, the default parameters will be used. To provide a simple method of setting the ndd network parameters mentioned in this article at Solaris boot time, a system init script has been created and is described in "Sample System nddconfig init Script."
Setting driver parameters involves making trade-offs. Most parameters involve changing the default Solaris OE configuration. The default settings are optimal for most situations. Adjusting parameters might affect normal system operation, so Sun does not encourage parameter changes.
All ndd parameter changes suggested in this article include a discussion of trade-offs, where appropriate. Some settings change the expected operation of systems; these are noted. Most of these recommended parameter changes are being actively used on production systems at customer sites.
Sun sometimes alters parameter names or adds additional parameters between releases of the Solaris OE. Most of the IPv4 parameters described in this article are used consistently across Solaris OE releases. When there are exceptions, the text for the parameter specifically mentions the OE differences.
