I have never worked in the pharma industry. However, I know that I will be able to learn and share my skills and capabilities I learned in the insurance industry.
Rachelle's Feedback
If you can tie in the transferable skills and interests between insurance and pharma, that would be a better approach. Avoid ever starting a sentence in an interview with "no" or "I have never." There is always a way to bring it back into the positive, so that the interviewer never frames you as an unsuitable candidate (whether conscious or not).
"I am excited to say that I am new to the Pharma industry! What interests me most is that the pharma industry works hard to offer unique solutions for people based on their health and personal needs. This focus is similar to the insurance industry, where my experience comes from."
