The interviewer is trying to discover more about who your role models are and why they motivate you. Think about a mentor in the pharma/biotech industry or a successful professional you aspire to be like. Perhaps you look up to a parent who was a hard worker or a teacher who encouraged you to become who you are today. Whomever this inspiring person may be, remember that the interviewer will be looking for an answer from the heart.

"I find inspiration in many people and things. I would have to say that the person who has most greatly inspired me is my grandmother. She always had a smile on her face no matter how hard she worked, and she loved everyone. She was well respected and always gave more than she received. I try to live as she did, as much as possible."

"I have always thought Dr. Michael Hayden is a fascinating leader in neuroscience. He was recognized as a top industry leader by PharmaVoice for founding five biotech companies, his work on Huntington's disease, and his contributions to the development of more than 35 new products. He's such an inspiration to those interested in neuroscience and the evolution of treatment options."
