QUESTION 12 OF 35

Do you prefer to work on studies related to humans, animals, or plant life?

Your answer to this question will give the interviewer insights into your personality, what motivates you and where they might place you in their teams and indicate the direction you'd like to grow within the company. Whether you have a preference or not, remain positive, and keep your reply positive and insightful. The more mature your response, the more emotionally flexible you'll seem.

"Ideally, I don't prefer studies related to animals. Plants are plants. People understand what they're signing up for, but the animals we test on didn't sign up for this, and they don't understand what's happening. Even though I can compartmentalize, I pride myself on my integrity. It still feels like my integrity is compromised on those occasions."

"I can honestly say that I do not have a preference yet. As I continue to carve out my career, that may change; however, for the moment, I am happy to be working in the biotech industry in any related focus."
