"I have to be extra thorough from time to time when I have especially detail-oriented clients. Often this will mean spending additional time on calls with them to highlight project changes and adding details to my presentation. I am okay with being extra thorough when needed and would always bring this approach with your clients at Bristol-Myers Squibb."

"In the lab setting, attention to every detail is always necessary, and I have brought a sharp eye to the details every day of my career. Last year, we were developing a new drug for diabetes in my current role. My team had to be laser-focused every step of the way, and I encouraged this by making sure nobody was overwhelmed with work. Detailing every step required a clear mind and made the project a great success."
