When starting a new job, what are steps you've taken to develop a 30, 60, and 90-day plan for yourself?

Question

Ryan Brunner · Accepted Answer

"It's certainly been a long time since I've joined a new company, but the important things to accomplish in the first three months on any job involve people, duties, and processes. If I were to join this amazing team at Stryker, goal one in the first 30 days would be to meet and greet with all internal and external players I will be collaborating with on a regular basis. Starting to build rapport and develop winning relationships is important to me and something I would prioritize in this role. From there, I hope to be up to speed on all things Stryker in my first two months on the job. By working with mentors and training with my new colleagues, seeing the big picture of our work would be important to me. Last, by the end of my first three months here, I would expect to be up and running on my own in my day-to-day duties. I think it takes time to get comfortable and my ability to learn, adapt, and retain information would be a big asset if I were to join this team."

Ryan Brunner · Answer

According to their career site, Stryker offers a robust corporate-wide onboarding program. On top of that, local locations also add to that orientation and initial training for staff. Putting the onus back on you, your interviewer wants to hear how you have planned your own goals for orientating to a new job in hopes that you have a similar type plan if you emerge as their top candidate. As you prepare for your interview with Stryker, you want to take the time to read once again through the job description and think of the important milestones and goals you will have for yourself as a new employee there.

"I enjoy the process of learning about what is driving business and what can be done to improve it. I like to take the first week to meet with the teams I will be working with as well as analyzing the data. As I create my business plan, I reach out to my leader because I want the feedback. It's important to have this collaboration in the beginning to ensure I am focused on the right initiatives. This establishes an open line of communication on all fronts."

"One of the first things I would ask, is what are your expectations for the first 30, 60, or 90 days? Are there any big rocks? From there, I would develop a plan to learn about the organization, meet and connect with people, partner with leaders on the key objectives (determined by the business). I would be looking to the leadership to provide some insight into overall expectations."

"I discuss with fellow reps with what they think attainable goals are and how they performed within the first 30/60/90 days, and I would work with my manager closely on how the territory should be managed in that time period. I would then write down my own goals of what I think I should accomplish in those 30/60/90 days periods."

"When starting a new job in the first week or two, I would want to meet with the team to get a feel for how things are going and what challenges they are having. I would also want to talk with the senior members to ensure them I am here to support them and will need to rely on them and their product knowledge until I get up to speed. Over the next 30 days, I would want to become knowledgeable about the products and then start to develop small improvements we could make as a department."

"When I start with a new company, I meet my coworkers during my first week. I become familiar with the company's technical resources. I meet one-on-one with my team, and I also hold all-team meetings. During my second week, I become familiar with my team's current situation and learn about their pain points. I later work on a roadmap for my 30, 60, 90-day plan. I will also talk to my manager and get insight into his or her approach."

"I would love to discuss a plan with my manager and colleagues that could focus on learning in the 1st month, focusing on culture, business, product, and tools. For the 2nd month consolidate my knowledge and shadow my colleagues and coach, and for the 3rd month being operative and supervised while getting feedback for my performance."

"In the first couple of weeks, I would want each team member individually to pick their brain and get a sense of how the team works. I would also have weekly meetings with the managers to learn about the challenges they are having and how I can be of assistance. Taking notes is crucial and asking for feedback is essential along the way."

"When initially starting out, I like to align with my manager to understand what is going on: ongoing projects, new projects, and critical issues. From there I can develop the short-term and long-term agenda and communicate with my manager to ensure I'm on the right path. If there are projects that I'll be assuming, then my manager and I can prioritize those accordingly. Along the way, I also try to educate myself about products, processes and getting to know the people."
