QUESTION 5 OF 44

How do you stay informed on new innovations and changes in your field?

This question is often used to determine how serious or passionate you are about your career. They want to know if you can talk the talk and walk the walk. They want to know if you pursued this career or just fell into it. It will also offer you an opportunity to show off your knowledge of your industry and how up-to-date you are.

"First and foremost, I love the fact that this career has put me in a position to always be learning, evolving, and growing. Over the past five years since graduating from my program and entering the workforce, I have found that networking with other industry professionals has been the greatest thing in learning industry changes ahead of the curve. I have built a great network by attending annual industry conferences and quarterly regional meetings. I also subscribe to the Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences and love the fact that I have access to a great database of information through their website."

"I have set up some industry related google alerts because I find these to be the best opportunity to stay on top of new information in my work. I also subscribe to Pharma Forum, Science Direct, and Medical Futurist, online. I am always looking for new opportunities to learn so if you have recommendations, I am happy to hear them!"

You want to exhibit a growth mindset at all times. The pharmaceutical and biotech industry is rapidly changing and innovating. If you take advantage of learning through continuing education credits, seminars, conferences, journals, and any other means of staying educated in your line of work, let them know.

Read up and revisit so they're fresh in your mind prior to the interview. This could branch off into excellent conversation points. Establishing a rapport with your interviewer translates to a likelihood of doing the same with the members of their team and is always a good selling point.

Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.
