25. What will you accomplish in the first 90 days of working here?
How to Answer
It's a good idea to have a 30, 60, and 90-day plan set out when you go into an interview. This approach is especially important when you are applying to a project based position where immediate action and results are expected. You can jot down a few ideas or create a slide presentation - whatever makes you most comfortable! You can discuss numbers, training achievements, pain points the interviewer has mentioned in the past, or how you plan to fit in with your new team.

1st Answer Example
"I would like to accomplish a few things in my first 90 days. After giving it some thought, I believe the best action I can take is to get to know each member of the marketing team whom I will be supporting. Some people like communication via phone, some in person, and others prefer a quick email. I plan to learn how everyone prefers to communicate. Next, you mentioned that there is a severe backlog on article topics. I would like to fix that for you, first thing."

2nd Answer Example
"My first 90 days will be spent focused on organizing your blog post needs and then digging in. I understand that you have 500 different blog posts that need crafting, and I plan to contribute by knocking at least 100 of those out in the first 90 days. That would be a great accomplishment for me."
