Behavioral Question: Tell me about a time you undertook a major project that required urgency to research, design and implement the project in two months. How successful were you, and what were the results?
I researched and interviewed a select group of senior managers in the Firm and I asked for help with selecting high performing employees within the Firm. I also scheduled a 1:1 meeting with senior management for feedback and suggestions and for Firm buy in. Afterwards, I met with the stakeholders and I presented my plans to the executive team for approval. I had to make significant changes to my presentation and present again within a week. I then interviewed more people in the Firm and sought out a mentor for direction.
Example - Action:
I took an on-line LinkedIn Learning course on Google slides and watched several Youtube videos to improve my new skills
