Understood.
Now, can you write me a sample answer (based on my resume) which follows the STAR format : Have you ever had to develop a new skill on the job? Tell me about your approach to the learning process.
One example of a time when I had to develop a new skill on the job was when I was working as a Technical Product Manager at Amazon. The company was looking to expand its customer acquisition platform, and I was tasked with assembling a task force to restructure the platform. The problem was that I had no prior experience with customer acquisition and had to learn about it quickly in order to lead the team effectively.
My approach to the learning process was to first identify the key areas of the customer acquisition process that we needed to focus on. I then reached out to experts in the field, both within and outside of the company, to gain a deeper understanding of the subject matter. I also read industry reports and studies, and attended relevant conferences and webinars to learn from the best practices of others.
Once I had a good understanding of the subject matter, I began to apply my newly acquired knowledge by working closely with my team. I provided guidance and mentorship, and encouraged them to share their own experiences and insights. I also made sure to continuously measure and track the progress of our efforts, using tools like Tableau and JIRA, to ensure that we were on the right track.
Through this process, I was able to successfully lead the team in restructuring the customer acquisition platform, resulting in a 118% increase in sales cycle. This experience reinforced my belief in the importance of continuous learning and the value of having a strong approach to the learning process.
