A CRO like IQVIA often has several projects for different sponsors being conducted simultaneously. Knowing your goals and any changes you expect in your life will allow the interviewer to evaluate if you are interested in having a long-term relationship with their company. If so, be sure to express this. With that said, they'll want to know of any life changes and how they might place you in positions that won't disrupt your plans. With a CRO, if you expect a move or other significant change, they may still offer you employment but within a project that fits your time frame. Either way, be honest with the interviewer. That will be beneficial to both you and IQVIA.

"I recently became engaged. Although we have not set a date yet, we have agreed to wait twelve months before the marriage. My fiance just passed the Bar exam and has been offered an opportunity to join an existing law firm. We plan to stay where we are and build a career, not just work a job. Also, we do not plan to have children for at least two years after the wedding. We both feel that becoming established in our careers and saving for our future would be the responsible thing to do before starting a family."

"My spouse is in the military, and, although I would like to say with certainty that I will be living in the same place three years from now, there is no guarantee. I am glad you asked this question because I want to discuss opportunities with IQVIA where I could be useful but may not be obligated for several years until we know if he will be able to stay in one place."
