How do you answer 'What are your short term and long term goals' in a job interview?

My short term goal is to get this job. As far as long term goals are concerned, I have few. The reason being is that I know I am capable of a lot of things and want to be available for everything I can. I have long range plans but don't necessarily believe that goals are something that one reaches for, attains and then one is finished. I prefer to plan ahead but remain open and flexible to what opportunities present themselves to me.

I responded this way one time when the only two qualifications I had for a job was that I was willing to travel, spoke French and had a knowledge of accounting. This led me to be offered a position travelling around the world teaching large companies and their representative how to set up and operate computerized accounting systems. I later became an international representative, travelled all over the world and moved on to be a senior consultant and finally became self employed as a Senior Project Manager and Management Consultant. That question and its response literally changed my life. Hope it is useful to you!
