Depending on the internship that you are considering at Pfizer, the education required can differ greatly. Your interviewer ideally wants to hear you talk about your decision to take the educational path that you did and then discuss how it has prepared you for success in this internship program with Pfizer. While they can see your education on your resume, this question allows your interviewer a great chance to know you and your interests better.
"I have a bachelor's degree in biology from Tampa College of Natural and Health Sciences. I am on pace to graduate with honors, which will be a huge accomplishment for me since I have also been working part-time to support myself through schooling. In pursuing this degree, I've always had the goal of pursuing a career that can help change people's lives in medicine and Pfizer's global supply program offers me the opportunity to help develop life-changing medicines. My education has prepared me to be organized and innovative in my work and I'd look forward to the opportunity to bring these skills to work here."
