Short-term goals are typically defined as what you plan to do in the next two years. The interviewer wants to know if you have set short-term professional goals, which shows that you are motivated and inspired by your job. They also want to know if your plans involve working for the company. Describe what goals you have set for yourself, and be sure to include the company in your response.

Avoid saying that you have no goals or that you see yourself working for a competitor in the next two years. Companies pay a lot of money to interview, hire, and train employees, and they may pass you over if you seem unmotivated to improve or plan to leave soon for another company.

"My short-term career goals are to get hired by your company and gain experience inspecting commercial buildings. In the next two years, I will be completing my bachelor's degree in electrical engineering, and I see myself training new employees with your company."
