Before any job interview, you must research the company you are interviewing with. You want to learn all you can to answer any questions the interviewer will have. Review the company website, online employee reviews, and the job announcement, and visit the company and talk to staff. The interviewer wants to hear that you have done your homework and know the CEO of Eli Lilly and Company.

Show the interviewer you have done in-depth research on their company. Focus your answer on naming the CEO of Eli Lilly and a little history about them. You can mention when they were appointed CEO, who they worked for before Eli Lilly, and any achievements they have made since becoming CEO.
