Pfizer considers many great candidates for a relatively small amount of internships each year and they have the luxury of selecting from who they feel are the absolute best interns. One quality that they look for in their interns is the drive and passion to succeed and the internship fitting in with career goals is a key measurement of that drive. Your interviewer ideally wants you to talk about your ultimate career goals and how you feel this internship will help you achieve those goals. As well, they may be gauging if you could be a permanent hire following your internship.
