What are your goals?

The employer wants to observe two important things:

1.What goals do you have in your career?
2.How will the prospective job fit your plans?

So, you should present clear purpose, determination and commitment to own career goals by demonstrating how you plan ahead.
Short term career objectives are quite simple, like getting a higher post in a few years or months, or learning a new skill so that you can become more productive for the company or even earning a certain amount per month by a particular time. These are the answers that you can provide when you are asked what your short term career aspirations are. In some cases, you can also speak about any dream company that you would like to work with as your short term career aspirations.

In long term career objectives, you can go a bit ambiguous and even out of the material world. For example, you can say that your long term career aspirations are to create a path that other people in the profession and line of work may follow. You may even speak about what are your career ambitions, like obtaining the highest post in a company in a while, etc.
