I am not. The one question what job would you like to be at in 5-10 years within this company or outside this company they could not answer

I am like we can’t prepare you if you don’t tell us. Still silence. [/quote]
I wouldn’t have been able to answer either.  I’ve never been very good at knowing what jobs exist, let alone whether I’d want to do them.

If management wanted to help develop my career, it would be most useful to be asked what aspects of my job I enjoy doing, then identify positions within the company (or outside it?) that exist.  Or even trying to fit my more obscure interests into my current job (say, I was hired as a legal editor but I love databases; is there a way to fit that in).

[b]I think I’m not the only person who just isn’t temperamentally equipped to know where I want to be in 5 or 10 years. [/b][/quote]

This. I've never been that way and am late 50s now so don't see that changing. I know I don't want to be a CEO or have a board seat or Porsche convertible. I've been in the same job a dozen years. I'm fine staying in it until retirement in a decade or so. Seems odd to revamp an entire evaluation system because one person left for another job.  [/quote]
