At Cigna Corp, we seek to hire healthcare professionals who have passion for our industry. If you could increase public awareness of any healthcare related issue, which would you choose?

"There are so many healthcare issues that I am passionate about, but if I could choose one, I wish that the general public was more aware of the signs and dangers of undiagnosed childhood diabetes. Having a young cousin that is going through this diagnosis right now, I saw how my family struggled with the fact that they weren't able to see the telltale signs earlier."

"This is a tough question, as there are so many underfunded and worthy healthcare issues. If I could increase public awareness about any healthcare-related issue, I would choose pancreatic cancer. Yes, cancer does receive a lot of awareness; however, pancreatic cancer does not. This year, over 53,000 people in the USA will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and nearly 80% will die from the disease - both men and women."

Talk to the interviewer about the areas of healthcare you are passionate about. Highlight a topic or two that you feel could greatly change the world if public awareness of it was heightened. There is no right or wrong answer to a question like this. Your interviewer will be listening to your ability to speak passionately and confidently as you answer.

Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.
