If offered this position, what steps will you take to develop a 30, 60, and 90-day plan for yourself?
Hiring managers want to be assured that candidates have a good understanding of the job and a plan of attack for their initial months after being hired. While Philips Healthcare has a very detailed and planned orientation process for new hires, your interviewer still wants to hear your initial goals for the first three months on their team.
"If I'm fortunate enough to be hired on your team at Philips Healthcare, my initial goal would be acclimating to the team and getting to know everyone I'll be working closely with. I love to ask questions because people within the department often have helpful feedback. From there, at the 30-day mark, I hope to be completely oriented to the Philips way of life. The coming months will be training, shadowing, and preparing myself to be fully up and running on my own by the 90-day mark."
To effectively answer a question like this, it will be important to have a good understanding of the job description and that you take some time to plan some initial goals on the job. Highlight your initial plan to achieve your goals, and acknowledge that you will need your new team to help you along the way.
