      How to Answer

      In 2021, Stryker launched their Impact program, a global volunteer and giving platform that supports causes that employees are passionate about. Through the program, the company matches employee donations dollar for dollar. One such program that has taken off is their Operation Smile campaign, which provides surgical and medical care for children with cleft and other conditions in low-income countries. Since giving back is such an important way of life there, your interviewer is hoping to hear that you do your part in giving back to individuals or communities through your work.

      "In many instances, I have rallied for patients that did not have the means to afford their elective surgeries. I worked with my company to have the product donated and then collaborated with the surgeon to have his physician fee waived to provide access to our therapy for less fortunate patients. I have also spent hours representing our company at local CRPS meet up groups and help sponsor those meeting for patients that share the same afflictions that our therapy helps treat."

      Lauren's Feedback

      Fantastic! This is great information for the interviewer to know. You are familiar with giving back, which is a strong cultural fit. I condensed some of the wording, and added language around your shared passions to give back.
      "Throughout my employment search, I have sought employers who value giving back to the community. I have a strong passion and drive to make patients' lives better and healthier. I once rallied for a patient who could not afford their elective surgeries. I worked with my employer to have the product donated and collaborated with the surgeon to waive the physician's fee to provide access to therapy. I have also represented my employer at the local CRPS groups and helped sponsor patients who could benefit from my company's therapy."
