志望者に今後やりたいことを聞こう

Asking about an applicant's future plans
あなたは外国人の志望者に将来の計画を尋ねるところです。
従業員に興味を抱くことは企業の将来に投資することを同等です。企業は機械やポリシーで機能するのではなく、人で機能するのです。ひとりの従業員の将来のプランはいつも人事ファイルに保存されておくべきです。
Thank you for your time.

As you know, we are an IT company and you applied for a system engineer position.
So, where do you see yourself in 10 years? Could you tell me about it? I ask this question to all applicants.

1. This is a more common way to put it. ''What do you want to be when you grow up?'' would be a usual question to ask children
I understand. I would like to establish myself in your company and be one of the top system engineers here. I would also like to help the company advance in systems technology.

Thank you. That is a good answer for us. It's a nice goal to be a top system engineer.
However, I also want to know how do you become the top system engineers. Everyone can say I want to be the top. Just setting a great goal is so easy. I want to know your strategy for becoming the top. Could you tell me how to become the top and your strategy for that?

Thank you. That is a good answer for us. It's a nice goal to be a top system engineer.
However, I also want to know how do you plan to become the top system engineer. Everyone can say I want to be at the top. Just setting a great goal is so easy. I want to know your strategy for reaching the top. Could you tell me your strategy for making it to the top?

1-4. This is a more common way to put it
You are right. It sounds easy. My strategy is to emerge myself into work. I look closely to find the best solutions for every problem. I'm hardworking and committed to my team, and above all, I'm not afraid to face difficulties and think out of the box.

That's amazing. You seem to have a great passion. Also, you mentioned the ability of thinking out of the box. I think that is vital skill to live in the 21st century but it is not easy to think out of the box. In my opinion, to think out of the box, you need to have a strong insight into society. So, I want to ask you one more question.
Could you tell me your opinion about what will become of in 10 years?

Could you tell me your opinion about what will become of our company in 10 years?

1. ''ability'' is followed by the infinitive
2. Premodifiers of singular countable nouns should be preceded by a determiner
3. ''become of'' is followed by a noun
In ten years, we will be the top-most company in this field and we will be spear heading all things in this field.

Okay, that is the wonderful insight of our company, but how about our society? How does this society becomes?

自然な表現

Okay, that is a wonderful insight into our company, but how about our society? What will this society look like in the near future?

1. ''of'' indicates possession, so ''insight of our company'' would mean the company produced this insight
2. This is a more common way to put it
Well, that's actually difficult to predict. You can never know how something might affect a particular society. I don't think that there are any clearcut rules.

Yes, that is true. We never predict future exactly. However, the important thing is making hypothesis. During processes, setting hypothesis and checking it is the only way to pursue reality.

自然な表現

Yes, that is true. We never predict the future exactly. However, the important thing is making a hypothesis. During any business process, formulating a hypothesis and checking it is the only way to pursue realistic goals. 

1. You say ''the future'', ''the past'' and ''the present''
2.5. Singular countable nouns should be preceded by a determiner
3. ''during processes'' doesn't convey a clear meaning
4.6. This is a more common way to put it
