What industry-related changes do you foresee in the next 12 months?
Assure the interviewer that you have a keen and honest interest in this industry by discussing the growth and change that you foresee in the next year. If the organization has any upcoming news or changes, be sure to mention these as well.
"I read on your website that GlaxoSmithKline is expected to see a 43% increase in the sales of product ABC. This fact piqued my interest as I have seen reports that forecast a strong increase in the use of product ABC for alternative medical therapies. There are continual changes in this industry, but I see this particular one being very significant in the upcoming months."
"I recently read an article by Q1 Productions that addressed this exact topic. The article mentioned that 2018 is going to be a great year for the pharma industry due to the economic upturn. The thought is that this will increase stock prices, thus allowing pharma companies to grow their offerings, expand operations, and further their research and reach. It's an exciting thought!"

Multiple myeloma is currently incurable cancer, but with more treatment targets and more cancer therapies coming to market, such as targeting the BCMA and more aggressive treatment of SMM, we can reach a point of turning it into a chronic disease and perhaps even cure. Anti-BCMA, CAR-T, and BITE therapies are examples of therapies of the future.
