Your interviewer is curious if you've extended your research to what they are looking for in their ideal candidate, and whether you've identified what makes you uniquely qualified to meet or exceed their expectations. Their careers page offers their candidates the following advice: "Take a deep dive into all things Cerner, by visiting our website and the rest of our career site. Look at your area of expertise to learn how we are innovating and what you might contribute to our efforts. Be ready to explain why you're the best candidate, and how your skills can help Cerner make a positive impact on health, care, and technology."
"There are a lot of talented people in the healthcare pool, but what makes me stand out is my willingness to take feedback. I am a humble employee. Also, I am a dedicated worker. I have had just one sick day in five years."
"I believe I am the best candidate for you because of my double degree in both Healthcare Management and Health Services Administration. In addition to these studies, I am also bilingual in English and Spanish. This skill will enable me to communicate very clearly with your predominantly Spanish community."
