What did you like about your last role?

Keep your answers positive, and emphasize the elements of your last job that are in line with what Abbott's work culture offers. Be confident and decisive in your answer, communicating clearly and with intention.

Notice they ask about your last role, not your last job. This gives you the opportunity to talk about your position as opposed to your job, which is beneficial if you were promoted to another position from within. Take the time to evaluate your five-year career plan, and determine how your previous position delivered you through your goals and how it led you to interview for Abbott's intern program.

"There was a real sense of camaraderie. We all kind of read each other's minds, anticipating the need of the team as a whole at every turn. I still have lasting relationships with many of them. I learned a lot from that collaboration. It was a great group, and the work was beyond rewarding. I can say that about every position I've held. I've often been described as a friend to all."
