Your career goals will give the interviewer an idea of what type of employee you will be - long term or short term. Is this position something you will be staying in for a while, or is this a temporary stop until a better opportunity comes along. Your answer to this interview question should be related to the position and company. You can start by talking about short-term goals and then roll into the long-term ones -your answer will sound much more logical and your plans well thought out.
