WHY is the interviewer asking you the question, ‘Describe what you are looking for in your next job?’
The hiring manager is asking you this question because they are assessing what you plan doing in the role if they hire you.
If you say you are just looking for a job where you and go to work, do what’s required, and then go home, they won’t be inspired to hire you.
