This question not only serves to reveal how well prepared you are for your interview and how strong your work ethic is in how well you've prepared. It also tells the interviewer whether their achievements motivated you to pursue the opportunity for a career with them. On its website, GSK lists many of its more recent "key achievements in pursuing our purpose to get ahead of disease." From the "broadest vaccine portfolio in the industry" to ground-breaking cancer treatments, to developing advanced monoclonal antibodies, the list is long. Spend time familiarising yourself with those achievements they advertise with pride and sharing them with enthusiasm when you deliver your answer.

"The list is long. But let's start with the advancements in GSK's ground-breaking cancer treatments, especially endometrial, ovarian, and multiple myeloma cancer. The implications are extensive and extraordinary."

Give yourself some time before your interview starts to enter the virtual interview room. Ensure your computer's camera is working and that your sound and lighting are suitable for your interview. Close out other applications and turn off your notifications as well. Make sure your phone is silenced, and eliminate any distractions. Have a glass of water or a cup of coffee next to you. Make sure you're in a quiet, well-lit space that is free of distractions.
GSK offers similar common sense advice on their website, "Familiarize yourself with the technology you'll be using. Ensure you have a strong internet connection." HireVue also offers similar advice: "Virtual interviewing is similar to the video calls many of us have been using. Since you can interview from anywhere, make sure it's somewhere you're comfortable. Pick a spot free from distractions and noise. Ensure you've got the strongest Wi-Fi signal possible. And don't forget to check your lighting. Make sure it's in front of you. Lighting from behind makes it hard to see you. Just be natural! Get comfortable and be confident in yourself."
