If Reckitt Benckiser hired you today, what would you accomplish first?
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. An impact goal is a specific and measurable objective that you set for yourself when starting a new job. It's a way of defining what success looks like and identifying the key outcomes that you want to achieve in your role. Your impact goal should be aligned with Reckitt's overall mission and strategic objectives, and it should reflect the specific contributions you want to make to help the organization succeed. By setting an impact goal, you can focus your efforts, stay motivated, and track your progress over time. It's a powerful tool for driving personal and organizational growth, and it can help you make a meaningful difference in your new job. Tell the interviewer what your impact goal is should you be offered the job.
"My first priority would be soaking up as much information about the company culture, policies and procedures, and KPIs as possible. I would embark on a 'listening tour' to engage in deep conversation with my team and colleagues to discover the greatest current needs and how to prioritize them based on company goals for the quarter. Overall, I would strive to meet or exceed all KPIs for the business quarter as efficiently as possible."
"If hired today, I would start by meeting my colleagues and introducing myself. Since I would be hired as a data analyst, I would then analyze all quantifiable data from the last month, quarter, and year to identify any challenges and set a plan to address them. I'd also look for team and company strengths to capitalize on or expand them to increase the company's bottom line. Overall, I'd be looking for patterns that help me make an immediate contribution to the team and the organization."
