What are your greatest strengths, and how will they be a fit for this role at Pfizer?

Avoid overused generic responses such as, 'I am an excellent communicator,' or 'I am a hard worker.' The interviewer wants to see how you stand out from other candidates.

Your strengths can be skills or qualities that help you overcome difficult circumstances or accomplish challenging tasks. Consider including:

- Hard skills such as technical expertise or project management skills
- Soft skills such as time management and critical thinking
- Personality traits such as being adaptable, kind, and self-sufficient
- Knowledge-based skills such as speaking multiple languages

Instead of giving a generic response, speak about your strengths that will make you good at this specific role at Pfizer. When deciding which strengths to mention, carefully review the job posting to uncover the greatest needs of the job you are being considered for. Then, you can talk about which strengths you possess that align with those needs.

Here is a four-step approach to help you prepare a response:

1) Look through the company's job posting, website, social media posts, and other online resources.

2) As you comb through these resources, write down which strengths you believe the company needs most in a team member.

3) Go through your list and consider which of those strengths you possess. Choose three to five strengths that will ensure your success in the job and with the company.

4) Draft a response highlighting the strengths you chose from your list. Tie these strengths into the company's needs and support your answer with an example from your life or work history.

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.
