This question aims to determine how you approach your onboarding. As they detail on their careers site, "From your first day, you will experience our comprehensive onboarding programme, which will help you navigate around our activities and business areas, and meet new colleagues." They don't expect you to make a fast impact and reinvent the wheel the second you walk through their doors. Instead, they expect you to absorb information, build relationships with your coworkers, and learn what they've built together and why they do things the way that they do. Showcase that you understand this is the first step and that once you are up to speed and have earned the trust of your teams you hope to make lasting, meaningful contributions.

"After onboarding, building relationships, learning the ropes and how to navigate my way, I hope interested in making an impact on your organization right away and have already crafted a plan to make that happen. I am a strong business development professional, and I plan to expand the territory to include additional rural areas. This should amount to a strong increase in revenue within the first nine months of my onboarding."
