Describe the leadership skills you would bring to the Pfizer team.

Whether you are interviewing for a position with a formal leadership title or not, the ability to lead others through your positive actions and collaborative skills is the key to success in any role there. Consider how you influence others because you want to, not because you have to. Perhaps you are skilled at motivating and encouraging others, or maybe you are a creative person whom others want to learn from. Maybe your leadership superpower is empathy or decisiveness.

Before your HireVue interview with Pfizer, prepare examples of when you have been a proactive leader throughout your career. If this is an entry-level role without a leadership component, the decision-makers will still want evidence that you can take the initiative when there is an opportunity. As you answer, choose a few leadership skills that describe you best, and be prepared to give an example of these qualities in action.

The average HireVue interview takes approximately 30 minutes to complete. This one-way video interview typically includes three to five questions. Depending on the hiring company's parameters, the HireVue platform will generally give you 30 seconds to prepare a response and up to two minutes to answer each question. It's important to note that HireVue stops recording as soon as your time limit is up, so it's better to run under time than overtime.

"In my most recent performance review, I was commended for being attentive, open, and confident with my colleagues, and I think these are great skills for a natural leader on your team at Pfizer. I listen to my team members and give them the room to perform their jobs well. If one of my team members is not hitting their goals, I step in and begin coaching. I want to believe they are capable of their job unless they show me otherwise. This leadership approach has always worked well for me."
