Your post-secondary career is significant in displaying your ability to complete a degree, multitask, and apply yourself. Even though your interviewer at Bristol-Myers Squibb has a great idea of your education, they need to hear you talk firsthand about your college education and how that has prepared you for success at their organization.

"I have a Bachelor's Degree in Biology from Tampa College of Natural and Health Sciences. I graduated with Honors, which was an especially proud moment for me since I had also been working part-time. My goal was to always end up in a lab where I could help develop life-saving therapies for the sick, and I'd love to help live this mission at Bristol-Myers Squibb."

"I recently graduated from the University of Georgia with my Degree in Pharmaceutical Science. With this degree, I look forward to joining the Bristol-Myers Squibb Company and carving out a great career with you. When the timing is right, I plan to return to school to obtain my Master's Degree in a science-based field. This extension of learning, of course, would be in tandem with my full-time job."

Walk the interviewer through your post-secondary experience, highlighting any recognition or awards you have achieved. Now is a great time to discuss what drove you into your educational path, where you've found success, and even where you found a few struggles along the way. In the end, your interviewer asks this question to hear about your passion for your training and eventual work with Bristol-Myers Squibb.
