Part of what they are looking for in an ideal candidate has "strong analytical skills in the finance domain, such as business planning, performance monitoring, financial modeling, data analytics, new business model development, business intelligence, and post-merger reviews." Consider these key points in how you present your answer and yourself.

"This has nothing to do with work really, but my parents were struggling between five different health insurance plans. There were a lot of cost differentials between coinsurance, copays, deductibles, premiums, and the tiers of in-network versus out-of-network costs. It was a lot for the average citizen to tease apart for choosing the most cost-effective plan. Not to mention, how one justifies the costs on a personal level, monthly or annually, really depends on the individual. So I sat down with my parents and went over their healthcare needs for the last three years and projected a slightly increased average of their healthcare needs for the next year. I then helped them come up with a livable budgeting plan and created a chart for the total cost of those needs across all tiers, coinsurance, copays, deductibles, and premiums. It was far more work than anyone should be expected to do, but in the end, I think I saved them thousands of dollars in healthcare costs annually."
