Stephanie's Feedback
When you're on the job search, it is normal to be applying to multiple opportunities! However, you never want an interviewer to question your interest in the specific role you're being considered for, so I suggest adding on a sentence at the end of this response that clarifies your interest. For example, "While I am currently interviewing with several different companies, I am especially excited about this opportunity with Pfizer and would welcome the opportunity to advance in your search process."
Prepare for behavioral and technical questions specific to pharmaceutical industry leaders.
