MasterCard has a variety of goals and KPIs for each employee. How do you meet and exceed your goals every month?
The interviewer would like to hear how you set goals for yourself and organize your day. They're also curious about your approach to ensuring success in the workplace. When you have a great plan in place, it's much easier to meet and exceed your goals.
Start by validating MasterCard's need for their goals and KPIs. If you have an example of a time you recently exceeded your goals at work, talk about what you did to get there!
"When I first started in my current role, I struggled to meet my targets, which were many. Once I had my feet under me, I quickly realized those monthly goals were more attainable broken down into daily objectives. Once I managed this, I was able to thrive. I further broke down my tasks into hours, ensuring greater success and a stronger track record. I have exceeded my goals for the past six months straight."
"While in university, I learned about goal setting and the importance of timing in goal setting. Often, I would have many assignments due at once. I stayed organized by developing a color-coded iCal that I could reference. I've since improved upon those systems and have become increasingly systems-oriented. No doubt, these systems can be modified and implemented to meet and exceed my goals and KPIs at MasterCard."
