identifying long an short term educational an career goals?

Answer 1

Long Term usually means 5-10 years from now. Short term would usually be in the next few months, or up to a year (usually a year if you are talking annual appraisals)

If you are talking about on job aplications then make sure that these are industry specific, even if you don't want to stay in the job. If it is a job that you are already in then again, tailor it towards what you think your boss will want to hear (as long as you are willing to follow through - ie don't say you want training if you don't)

Answer 2

long term is ten years from now short term is only a few years away
