When you start a new position, it is essential to set a goal on how you will make a positive impact quickly after being hired. Tell the interviewer what your impact goal is, should you be the successful candidate. If you want to make an impact with your answer, refer to the immediate needs of the company such as increasing budgets, or improving patient care, for instance.

"When we spoke earlier, you mentioned that you urgently sought to improve the level of patient care and compassion at this facility.

This question is delicate, and you need to show respect for the onboarding process, then give a moderately ambitious project that you could execute. This concept is often called your 'value proposition' in marketing. "Hire me because I'll do X." But remember, this is your campaign promise. If hired, it will likely be your first target to hit; depending on the environment, it could make or break you. The best approach is to give a functional analysis of the employers' needs and your skills.

"If hired today, my impact goal is to meet my coworkers and managers and offer my exceptional customer service skills to every patient I see. If there is something that needs improving upon in my unit, I will make suggestions to my manager with an action plan to make that improvement. I like to get a feel for the company, my managers, and coworkers before making suggestions for change or improvement."

Rachelle's Feedback
These are great accomplishments to aspire to! If possible, try to discuss specific pain points the interviewer may have mentioned in conversation or areas of expertise that are mentioned in the job posting/job description.
Prepare for technical and behavioral questions specific to Canada's leading medical laboratory.
