QUESTION 9 OF 40

At General Electric, we seek to hire those who are confident in their skills and proactive. How do you plan to make an impact on our business in the first 90 days?

It is a great idea to map out a proactive progress plan before your interview so that you are prepared to discuss how you plan to make an impact on General Electric if hired. Be sure to display confidence in your abilities, but avoid trying to reinvent the wheel when it comes to the impact you wish to make. A great place to start would be to see if there is a common need mentioned in the General Electric job description/job posting.

"I noticed in your job description that you mention a sales hunter mentality is a must. My 90-day impact plan would be to aggressively tackle the cold call list that you mentioned has been neglected recently. These cold calls will increase sales appointments, as my closing percentage is very strong."

"If hired, I plan to make an impact on your business quickly. I will do this by fully absorbing my training, taking any additional coursework required, and building healthy co-worker relationships right out of the gates."

Anonymous Answer

With my quick learning ability, I plan to learn the necessary training and details of the industry and company in order to be successful. In order to do that, I plan on making great relations with other team members within the company, while asking insightful questions and participating in technical projects. Being more comfortable with the workplace, team, and job duties allows me to increase productivity and contribute more ideas at an accelerated rate.
