Quest Diagnostics seeks to hire professionals with passion for the clinical laboratory setting. If you could increase public awareness on any related issue in our field, which would you choose?
Quest Diagnostics provides access to diagnostic testing services for cancer, cardiovascular disease, infectious disease, and neurological disorders. To know that you are passionate about your work in the lab setting and how it impacts the health of the patient samples that you would work on, your interviewer wants to hear you speak with passion for public awareness in issues related to clinical lab work.
"There are so many healthcare issues that I am passionate about, but if I could choose one, I wish the general public were more aware of the signs and dangers of undiagnosed childhood diabetes. Also, I fully support the cause of Quest Diagnostics, ensuring that diagnostic services are readily available to those in need."
"This is a tough question as there are so many underfunded and worthy healthcare issues. If I could increase public awareness of any healthcare-related issue, I would choose pancreatic cancer. Yes, cancer does receive a lot of awareness; however, pancreatic cancer does not. This year, over 53,000 people in the USA will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, and nearly 80% will die from the disease - both men and women."
Talk to the interviewer about the areas of healthcare you are passionate about. Put some thought into areas in which the general public could use more education and discuss why this would be important.
