"My short-term career goals are to work for a company whose culture, values, and sustainability efforts are in line with my morals and convictions. I want to work for a company that really stands behind its DEI statements as well. This is important to me. And, I want to travel, to be around people, and to have fun working with people who want the same. Delta feels like the perfect fit to me."

When focusing on your short-term goals, think about what you'll need to accomplish before moving on to the next stage of your career with Delta. Do your research on what their training and onboarding look like. Think about the aspects of entering a new job that you find most challenging, and what you hope to accomplish in a short period. Think about what your long-term goals are, and the short-term goals you'll need to accomplish before embarking on your long-term goals. Revise your five-year career plan, and focus your answer on those goals that you set out for yourself over the next month, quarter, and year.
