QUESTION 9 OF 29

In the medical device industry, a background in science is really helpful so you can learn how our products work and help save lives. Tell me more about your background in health sciences or anatomy.

At Siemens Healthineers, every employee has to have basic level knowledge of what the medical devices do but beyond that, if you don't understand basic anatomy and the medical conditions associated with the devices, you can't really see the big picture. Give the interviewer any background you have in human anatomy or science so they see you intellectual horse-power.

"I started my college career wanting to be a physical therapist. I took all of the basics in chemistry, biology, and anatomy. As I went on, though, I realized that my passion for business outweighed my passion for hand's on patient care."

Anonymous Answer

I don't have a lot of experience, just basic education.

Stephanie's Feedback

Even if it feels like you don't have a lot of experience, I suggest focusing here on what you DO have. You should re-write this response including any coursework you've taken in the health sciences and anatomy (which will sound much more compelling than "just basic education.") Can you pitch your current educational experience as a match for this industry? This is a great time to highlight your previous coursework, skills, and passion.
