Are You a Futurist?


This is a pretty cool article from ID Magazine:

Have you ever had a job interview in which you were asked where you saw yourself in five years? Now, picture a job interview in which you are asked where you see not yourself, but the company that is interviewing you (and perhaps the country, or even the world) in five years. Well, how did you do?

If you answered that second question with acumen, flair, and persuasiveness—if you were able to spin out several compelling scenarios of where company X's best prospects lie, where its customer base is heading, or what kinds of goods it should be producing next—odds are you have a place in a profession with a future: a professional futurist.
