Have you ever thought that creating a 30-60-90-Day Plan for a job interview is way too arrogant or presumptive? Or maybe you just believe there’s no way to have the information to create a plan before your first interview?
Meghan worried that creating a plan was too ‘over the top.’ See what Meghan’s interviewer said about her 30-60-90-Day Plan:
I can’t say enough about THE 30/60/90 day plan book. I bought it… in preparation for an interview I had coming up for my dream job. I have several years experience under my belt but I am just graduating from college.
I took my time, did my research and came up with a solid 30/60/90 per the book’s instructions. I was nervous. I thought I could come across as arrogant or that doing the plan was being over the top. I brought the plan anyway and at the right moment, introduced it.
They were impressed but didn’t act WOW’ed so I didn’t know how to perceive it.
As I was leaving the interview, I ran into my competition. Someone with many years’ more experience than myself and someone I know has had a degree for YEARS….decades, really.
Today, I got a call that they had chosen ME to move forward in the hiring process. What tipped the scales? My enthusiasm, my brag book (also a suggestion from Peggy) and my 30/60/90 showed them I was a forward thinker and the type of person they wanted on their team. During the panel interview, one person even said, “I’m glad you did this. I need someone who will think this way.”
Thank you, Peggy. I hadn’t gone on an interview for a corporate level job..well, ever. This was dynamite and I know it set me apart from my competition.

Creating a 30-60-90-Day Plan isn’t arrogant–it’s smart. It’s forward-thinking, it’s enthusiastic, and it’s goal-oriented. It shows a potential employer what kind of person you are and what you are capable of, and it gets you the offer…even over competitors with more experience.
