Results orientation is the ability to produce consistently positive results, over time, no matter what the assignment or degree of difficulty. It is a mindset that is all about setting objectives, figuring out how to accomplish them, setting an operational plan, attaining the necessary human, capital and operational resources, and to achieve the objectives within the established time frames. The interviewers look for the candidate who thrives in a performance based culture and who love to win.
Let’s be sure that we are clear. Every time that you present an accomplishment make sure that you give the bottom line. What did you accomplish and how was it good for your organization. Quantify the result. Show the interviewer your passion for crossing the finish line, for accomplishing the goal, for WINNING. Employers want people who want to win.
