      1st Answer Example

      "Looking at the job description, coupled with my knowledge and expertise, I would first sit down and identify top priorities that need to be done. If I need to learn who my customers are and start communicating with them on a particular aircraft or system, I would start there. If I am coming in and there is a pain point I would need to solve, I would utilize my skills and expertise to start tackling that challenge. It's important that I remain adaptable and flexible, as I know priorities will change quickly."

      2nd Answer Example

      "I would first take the time to understand what my job duties are and where I would need to start addressing first. I would make a list of top priorities, key team members, and key customers/clients/vendors that I would need to develop relationships with and start there. I would also take the initiative to hop into any meetings or hop onto calls that I could to learn the business. From there I would start working on tasks and getting familiar with the way Airbus does their operations/business."
