The interviewer is getting to know you. You don't have to have mini-goals, and if you don't, be honest about that. Maybe you're more of a "big picture" person, and that's okay!

Staying positive whether or not you have mini-goals. They are just trying to get to know your style of work.

A short answer like "I don't have them." If you don't, again, that's fine, but find a way to spin that in in a positive direction. See answer examples.

"Yes. I try to set milestones for myself for each week (or month, etc.) to keep myself on track, such as finishing XX spreadsheet by end of day. This does not have to be a hard and fast deadline, but I do like to set little goals for myself'."

"I find I am more efficient if I do not. I have in the past, but realized I was focusing on the goals too much and feeling badly about myself if I did not meet them. I set long-term goals, but mini-goals tend not to work for me. I would be willing to try again if you have some specific guidance."
