Answer 3 :
Well, I guess they're looking for an honest answer. So if you don't know the answer, is it that you don't set targets for yourself? Don't lie on an application or it could come back to haunt you and even cost you a job. It's better to tell the truth. So if you don't set targets, just say you don't and be honest. Cheers!

Answer 5 :
Tell them that you have a wonderful system for setting and achieving targets. Let's say your Big Target is Working for their company. You then set a series of smaller targets that you check off as you accomplish them toward the bigger goal. The smaller targets might be: -get directions to the company -get your resume together -find out about the company -get your suit cleaned for the interview

I can remember the days when graduates were smart enough to answer job application questions themselves! How times have changed.
