What sources do you look to when you need to solve a complicated problem?
You will be working on many projects during your internship at Pfizer and the organization gives its interns the opportunity to work on real-life issues in the pharmaceutical field. The interviewer at Pfizer wants to know if you can be creative, or even ask for help when you are stuck on a complicated problem as an intern.
"When faced with a complicated problem, I will look at the resources that are available to me. The answer is almost always in there. If it's more of a moral dilemma vs. a knowledge-based dilemma, I will ask my supervisor for his thoughts and opinion since I value him as a mentor and expert in our industry."
Maybe you look to a mentor or boss for advice. Perhaps you have handbooks, manuals, and systems you turn to for help. Offer some relevant examples based on your industry. If you work in the medical field, you may turn to textbooks, online research, colleagues, or even a patient's history to find the right solution. If you work in customer service, you may ask the customer what they need to find the best way to solve the problem. Show the interviewer that you are knowledgeable and equipped to handle these types of scenarios as an intern.
