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.
Many executives in a position to hire you are strong believers in goal-setting. (It’s one of the reason they’ve achieved so much).
Be ready to discuss your goals for each major area of your life: career, personal development and learning, family, physical (health), community service and (if your interviewer is clearly a religious person) you could briefly and generally allude to your spiritual goals (showing you are a well-rounded individual with your values in the right order).
