Your resume and cover letter got you this far. Now it's time to go deeper, and your interviewer would like to know more about the knowledge you gained and the experiences you had throughout your post-secondary studies. They want to explore what you learned along the way and how those character-building experiences helped define your professionalism and narrowed the direction of your career path. They want to know how what you learn will be applied here and what value it will lend to Sun Life Financial. Showcase the transferable knowledge you gained and how you are prepared to apply that knowledge.
