Your interviewer at Bayer poses this question for a couple of reasons. First, the everyday atmosphere there is quite competitive because the pharmaceutical industry is always evolving and changing for companies looking to bring new and innovative products to the market. The interviewer also wants to ensure you have a good idea of what success will mean in the position you are interviewing for.

"I define success by my ability to reach the goals set out for me. If I'm fortunate enough to be offered this position at Bayer, I would define my success as onboarding quickly and efficiently so I could hit the ground running with a busy fall season coming up when harvesting and seeing packaging will be busy. It will also be successfully integrating with the team I will be working on. Can you elaborate on what you feel initial goals will be for the person you hire?"

"I have always felt that success is achieved when my customers feel well served and pleased with their product. I work tirelessly to ensure that the needs of my customers are met and even succeeded every time, and I would bring this same mindset to work at Bayer."

Before your interview with Bayer, consider how you have defined success in your work in the past and how you will be in this role at Bayer. Come prepared to discuss these personal definitions of success in detail. If you are struggling to think of how your interviewer will define success in the job, reread the job description and even scan the 'Our Values' portion of their website, paying special attention to Bayer's BASE Principles.
