The Pharma/Biotech industry is fast moving, and changes and developments happen all the time. An employer works to keep their staff up to date with company news and developments. When an interviewee shows they have a proactive approach in this respect, it makes them a more viable candidate. Read up on 'Abbott In The News' at the bottom of their careers page to bring up as a topic of conversation. More often than not, questions like these are aimed at how up-to-date you are on the company's news. Discuss what you've read about. Exhibit your enthusiasm relevant to advances in your field, especially where Abbott is concerned. This way, you are exhibiting your knowledge and creating a personal connection.
