"I was so excited to read about the abstracts that Gilead Sciences submitted to the annual ASCO meeting this year, and I think many more exciting things will happen in the coming years for cancer care here. And honestly, this is something I would love to be a part of. Your Phase 3 studies of new lymphoma drugs can pave the way for new advancements in cancer care, and I got the sense today that your team will continue to innovate in this realm."

Assure the interviewer that you have a genuine interest in this industry by discussing the growth and change you foresee in the next couple of years. If Gilead Sciences has any upcoming news or changes, mention these as well. Their website has a great 'Newsroom' section with press releases that you can likely reference.

I read on your website that Gilead Sciences forecasts 2021 growth, strong remdesivir COVID-19 sales, based on a 26% rise in fourth-quarter 2020 revenue. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect sales, including treatments for hepatitis C and HIV, due to fewer people going to their doctors. There are continual changes in Pharma industry, but I see the COVID-19 pandemic treatments will remain a significant field in the upcoming months.
