Short-term career goals are targets you believe will help you achieve your long-term career objectives. Short-term goals are achievable and meant to keep you motivated on your journey to your larger, long-term goals. Short-term career goals should also help you meet specific work-related objectives over a shorter period, perhaps in 12 months or less.

Clarifying your short-term goals is the key to delivering a memorable response. If you're unsure of what qualifies as a short-term goal, consider a few of these examples:

- Completing a new certification, workshop, or course.
- Improving soft skills, such as communication or networking.
- Improving hard skills, such as becoming a power user in a particular program.
- Mastering new skills in the pharmacy or retail environment at CVS Pharmacy

When discussing short-term career goals, be sure that these goals are clear and related to the job opportunity you are being considered for at CVS Pharmacy. Before your HireVue interview with CVS Pharmacy, thoroughly read and understand the job description so that you can outline a few specific goals you will set for the short term for you to accomplish.

The average HireVue interview takes approximately 30 minutes to complete. This one-way video interview typically includes three to five questions. Depending on the hiring company's parameters, the HireVue platform will generally give you 30 seconds to prepare a response and up to two minutes to answer each question. It's important to note that HireVue stops recording as soon as your time limit is up, so it's better to run under time than overtime.

"It has always been a dream of mine to impact patients receiving in-home care, and your home infusion position at CVS Pharmacy seems like my dream job. My short-term goals are to bring my years of experience to help me learn and master the complexities of infusion services as a Pharmacy Technician. In my initial months on the job, I would look to learn as much as I can from my mentors to hit the ground running in short order."
