While a common question used to break the ice during the interview, allowing the interviewer a little snapshot into who you are as a person, the team at Bayer has higher hopes with your answer here. The culture at Bayer is very strong, filled with integrity, efficiency, collaboration, and fun, and your interviewer hopes to see that you will fit in immediately from a cultural standpoint with their team.

"I was born and raised into a hard-working blue-collar family, which greatly impacted how I grew up and the values I hold today. I value a hard day's work and putting in the effort to ensure a job well done. I participated in athletics throughout my childhood, into high school, and even at the college level as a baseball player. I am a motivated team player that believes in a team effort to achieve big wins. I was recently married to my high school sweetheart, and we are excited to spread our wings into a new life away from home. We love this region, knowing my wife has already taken a new position here."

"As you can see from my resume, I have worked in the consumer product industry for over fifteen years. I focused on key accounts and business development within commerce and e-commerce environments. I'm extremely motivated and excited about this opportunity with a reputable company like Bayer. In my personal life, I have an amazing family. Our two children are in high school, and we are beginning to look at colleges with our oldest. She is ending her junior year now. My husband is a middle school science teacher. Together, we enjoy being outdoors as much as possible. We love to camp all over the region, especially overnight in tents under the stars. We also take canoe trips each summer, where I love to relax and read, and he loves to fish."

While a large portion of the interview at Bayer will focus on your knowledge, skills, and abilities that will make you great for the job, this is a chance to shed some light on who you are as a person. As they ask, you'll want to give some insight into what you enjoy in life, your interests outside of work, and even your family life. The canvas you paint on here is blank, so make sure you make yourself a memorable candidate long after the interview process has concluded.
