How did you hear about this position?
Companies invest a lot of money advertising their job openings and internship opportunities. The hiring manager wants to hear what methods are effective and which are not. They also want to hear if an employee of Cigna referred you, a recruiter reached out, or you heard about the position at a career fair. Describe how you heard about the position, and be sure to give the name of the employee or recruiter who referred you if applicable. Some companies offer their employees a referral fee, while others hire recruiters to seek out qualified candidates.
The interviewer wants to briefly hear how you heard about the position. Be concise in your response, focusing on the recruiter's name, the Cigna Internship website, a career fair, or an employee referral.
Avoid forgetting where you heard about the position. If you cannot remember where you learned about the job opening, the interviewer will determine that you do not pay attention to detail and might be applying to many other internship positions.
"I heard about the internship program from one of your recruiters, Jacob Halloway. I attended a virtual career fair through the University of Arizona and met Jacob there. He was very patient and explained everything I needed to know about the internship program."
