text: how can u say that ur a goal oriented person n why?   i am a professional recruiter. i ask people these types of questions all day. tell the hiring manager or recruiter that you are goal oriented, have the goals listed, when you would like to have then achieved and how you plan to achieve them. group this answer just like you would if i were to ask you, "what's your biggest achievement? do you have a time frame? what did you do to make it happen?". i hope this helped to frame your answer. just be prepared.
