If Aetna hired you today, what would you accomplish first?
When you start a new position at Aetna, it is essential to set a goal to make a positive impact quickly after being hired. This question allows your interviewer to gauge your commitment to initial success in the job if you are the best candidate.
"It is important to understand the business inside and out, so I would want to meet with my new colleagues I would be working with in all cross-functional areas. Then, I would work with you on a 30, 60, and 90-day plan so we can review the most important elements to work on."
Tell the interviewer about your goal should you be a successful candidate. If you want to make an impact with your answer, refer to the immediate needs of the role at Aetna. Research the job and department you are interviewing with to better answer this question.
Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.

I would want to get to know the teams I would be working with. I would want to speak with the supervisors of each team and find out who on their teams need some assistance and who is doing well. Also, I would like to spend some time re-learning all the computer programs and getting back up to speed so I could start coaching and providing feedback as soon as possible.
