Short term goals should consist of things that can be accomplished within a 1 month-3 month span. Long term goals should be 6 months+. The interviewer wants to see that you are capable of planning, and have the virtues to stay patient even when you aren't reaping the benefits presently. It's a test of character.

List goals that are work-related, and show self-growth. Be able to outline the plan, and mark progress.

Work/Life balance matters :) I did highlight on my intention on my shift preferences so it'll be more to a rotational basis rather then a stagnant one. I initially thought to grow old in CSC if I were given the chance. Ok, back to this question's comments:

My long term goals would be:
- to excel in my job and hopefully suggest some helpful or easier ways of doing some things that will be helpful to my team of workers.
- I understand that I would need to attend more trainings on managerial subjects as I was just appointed to a Lead position, so I'll be able to show positive self-growth.
- to serve a company where I will be leading a team of individuals who are committed to excellence for the betterment and growth of company.
- If given the chance, I would like to climb up the corporate ladder in the organization, to achieve somewhere in the managerial position. To be meeting clients, discussing their goals and how can I help them as a company.
- in the end, I see myself in a top management level position where I will be contributing and sharing my knowledge and experience with others for the betterment of company employees, clients and shareholders. Most importantly, I wish to achieve financial independence.
