This position requires a competitive yet collaborative individual. How do you plan to make an impact in your first 90 days with KPMG while setting a strong groundwork of trust with your new team members?
The interviewer would like to hear more about your plan of action. Their ideal candidate also needs to exhibit strong interpersonal and communication skills, and should spend the first 90 days building relationships, asking questions, and learning not only how to do the job but also to learn why they do things the way they do. Without having that valuable information, it will be impossible to make an impact. Discuss the ways you know you will make a fast impact, but also address how you will ensure acceptance by your new team members.
"If hired for this role with KPMG I would want to get to know my team by listening to their suggestions and recommendations for success. I have very strong follow up and up-selling skills that would result in a fast impact on the portfolio that you would be handing off to me. I am a naturally collaborative person, so I am confident that I will create quick results while maintaining strong relationships."
"I plan to make an impact in the first 90 days by being incredibly diligent throughout my training, taking work home to study on the weekends, and getting to know the verbiage used with your clients. I plan to be more than confident in my abilities, so that I can hit the ground running, without any hesitations."
