Learn all you can about Abbott and the opportunities offered by their internship. Next, think about what your core values are and how they align with Abbott's. From there, you should be able to construct an in-depth answer.

The interviewers want to know more about your soft skills and what you have to offer that doesn't easily translate to a resume. Be true to yourself as opposed to telling them what you think they want to hear.

"One of my first jobs was working as a personal assistant for a friend of the family who struggled with multiple sclerosis. This person is a doctor and a botanist. I learned a lot about how one's environment and diet impact the quality of life of someone with MS or anyone for that matter. This person managed to take control of their life by changing their environment and growing beneficial herbs in their garden. Soon, they reclaimed their life and abated all their symptoms. I learned a lot from them, which fueled my desire to pursue this field. I have to agree with the philosophy of Abbott. The first step to living your best life is through good health."
