Setting and Meeting goals are an important part of getting the job you want. There are two types of goals. There are long-term goals and short-term goals. Long-term goals are goals that have a completion date a long way away, even a few years off! Short-term goals take less time to accomplish, and they move you closer to your long-term goal.  There are several things you should know about goals. 

	Goals should be realistic. They should not be easy to reach, but they should not be impossible.
	Goals should be flexible, in case of unexpected changes in your life.
	Goals should be measurable. Like, don’t say “ I want to make a good grade in Science this semester” Say “I want to make an average of ninety-five or higher this semester” That is a measurable goal.
	Goals should have a date for completion. If you don’t give yourself a due date, you will probably put it off, over and over again.
