Question 2 of 30

What would you like to accomplish in your first 30 days on the job?

"The first 30 days are crucial for onboarding and building relationships, so I suppose that's where my focus would be. I've already gotten a head start on learning about the company and its history. As much as one could from outside the company, anyway. But I would eagerly learn and absorb everything I could so I could start contributing as soon as possible."

      Why the Interviewer Asks This Question

      Many new recruits enter a company excited to prove themselves. For some, insecurity can cause them to try to establish dominance in a new environment. This question aims to reveal your approach and whether you focus on your onboarding and learning everything you can while building trusting relationships with humility.

      What You Need to Know

      Here is some advice TSB offers to their business clients on their website, which can help guide your answer to this question: "On-boarding is crucial to staff retention. The process needs to start before the new employee's first day. Make sure they have all the information they need to prepare. Make a big deal about new hires. Connecting new staff members with someone outside of their chain of command can help. This will embed them in the social and cultural aspects of the company and give them someone to talk to about any issues. Learn from this and keep improving the process."

      Tips

      Allow some time before the interview to enter the virtual interview room and check that the webcam, sound, and lighting are suitable. Close any unnecessary windows or applications that may notify you and distract you on your device during your interview. Silence your phone and your notifications. Have a glass of water ready if you need it during the interview. Take a deep breath and relax.
