Doing what is right at all times is important at Gilead Sciences. Talk about a time you showed integrity in your work.
The work that Gilead Sciences does has a huge impact on society, from the patients who use the pharmaceuticals they produce to their impact on the environment. Given that integrity is their number one core value, it will be important that the organization knows you will bring a high degree of integrity to your work with them.
"For the last four years during my college training, I worked a great retail job that helped me pay the bills and pay my way through school. In this role, I was responsible for the cash deposit every day I worked. There was never a discrepancy in the deposits because I took pride in my work. Handling large amounts of cash and transporting on one's own could be very tempting for others to be dishonest, but not for me."
"Integrity in this industry is crucial because so many people rely on the work we do. I think back over my career to the times when I was privy to sensitive client information and never waivered in my confidentiality and duty I owed to them to keep their sensitive information private. This is a consistent approach I will bring to work at Gilead Sciences every day."
Integrity comes down to showing honesty in all that you do and having consistent moral values. Others call it the ability to do the right thing, even when no one is watching. Talk to the interviewer about the ways you have shown your integrity in the workplace in the past.
