One of the good things about working for a CRO like PPD is that there are usually several projects for different sponsors being conducted simultaneously. Knowing your goals and any changes you anticipate in your life will allow the interviewer to evaluate two things - the positions available that won't disrupt your plans and if you are interested in having a long-term relationship with the company.

If you anticipate a move or other significant change with a CRO, you may still be offered employment within a project that fits your time frame. Either way, being honest with the interviewer will benefit both you and PPD.

"No, I do not anticipate any significant changes in my life in the next 3 to 5 years. My husband is retired, and we recently bought a house in the area. We plan to stay close to our kids and grandkids, so we will not be moving. If chosen for the position, I plan on staying with your company for the long-term."
