This question reveals a lot through how you react. Many who've had this question posed to them wonder if they've already conversed with their previous employer. If this question makes a candidate nervous, this will raise the question of how honest a candidate has been about their qualifications and accomplishments. If the interviewee comes across as confident and provides a notable answer that is consistent with the rest of the interview, then that may offer the interviewer greater confidence in what the candidate claims to offer.

In most states, previous employers will disclose very little about your previous employment and work history, out of the concern of defamation lawsuits resulting from heresy. Therefore, it is likely they do not know how you will answer. There is no need to feel nervous about this question. Answer with confidence, and stay on course with what you have to offer and contribute to Pfizer should they choose you to move forward to the next stage of the interview.

Don't ask them if they talked to your previous employers, or what they might have said. Exude confidence.

"I believe they tell you there is no one they could rely upon more. I'm a definitive team player. Professional, courteous, and thorough. I keep my head down, get buried in my work, but would drop everything in a minute if I was needed elsewhere."

"They'd say my work was always of the highest quality. I prioritized the safety of the team and our patients everywhere. They'd say I'm flexible, innovative, and customer-oriented. I'd like to believe they'd acknowledge my contributions as significant. That's my motto, I'm just trying to contribute to my field any way I can."
