Given their status as the major player in medical and pharmaceutical supplies to almost 90% of the hospitals in the United States, competition for jobs at Cardinal Health can be stiff. While the interviewer will undoubtedly pose questions to gain insight into your skills for the job you are interviewing for, this question allows you to give your best sales pitch for why you are the best candidate.
"I understand that this role requires stand-out skills in organization, leadership, and an energetic demeanor. I would say that these are three of my top skills, and I have many others! My references would attest to these skills as well."

- A robust existing network in the industry

- Thirst for knowledge
After researching the company before your interview, you should have a firm idea of the qualities they admire most in their candidates.

Great! Just don't overwhelm the interviewer will too many adjectives at once. Take some time to explain and go into further detail (including examples, if possible) about your top three qualities.
