Assuming that you are selected, what will be your strategy for next 60 days
Reason for popping this question is:
- The interviewer wishes to know whether the candidate is looking for a career rather than a job.
- They look for those who are familiar with the industry and are ready to hit the ground.
- They will be trying to encounter our career goals as well as our overall plan towards our work.
- This question becomes as challenging one to put into words sometimes.
- Make use of the diplomatic answers which will impress the interviewer.
Tips to answer this question are:
- Answer in such a way that shows your plans are with the opportunity.
- Your answer should focus towards interviewer’s expectation, and not our personal needs.
- Briefly explain how you can grow in this position.
- No need to mention in detail about your previous jobs.
- Avoid the usage of words like wait- and-see, wait-and-watch and so on.
Thing to be avoided are:
- Don’t focus on settling in and learning your interest rather than the companies interest.
- Apply successful ideas to your new company.
- Avoid going into excessive detail about previous jobs.
- Never avoid the question by stating you prefer to take a wait-and-see approach.
- When discussing your goals, don’t forget to talk about how you plan to reach them
