Tell me about yourself

This is often the first question you are asked, and it is your opportunity to make a great first impression. Google how to answer this question and pick your preferred structure. This is one great way to answer:

  • I am a P4 student at Springfield University in Springfield, but originally from Shelbyville. At Springfield University, I’ve been involved in three categories of professional activities: (1) I have direct patient care experience working at ABC Pharmacy and XYZ hospital, (2) I have developed as a leader through involvement in X, Y, and Z organization serving in different capacities on the executive board, and (3) I have research experience focusing on Topic X resulting in publications and posters. Outside of work and school, I love to play the saxophone and enjoy reading.
  • The above answer is a cogent way to summarize the main points of your CV and highlight things not listed on your CV. It provides over five different areas for the interviewers to expand on. There is no one right way to answer the question so modify it to suit your personality.

    Why biotech?

    We won’t give away too many secrets, but these are the most common answers we hear:

  • “I want to make a global impact”
  • “…impact patients on a macro scale”
  • “I tried retail and hospital and did not enjoy them, so…”
  • “dynamic, fast-paced” (so is retail)
  • “collaborative, cross-functional” (so is a hospital residency)
  • Industry is more than global impact and escape from pharmacy practice. Be unique to stand out.
