This question is not only centered on how relevant your education is to your current career of choice but also whether you have any interest in continuing your education, formally or informally. How you answer stands to reveal whether you identified educational opportunities facilitated by Vanguard, and if that played any role in your pursuit of this opportunity.
"There are different qualifications for our internships and full-time positions. Review our job descriptions for information on the specific qualifications you'll need to apply. We believe that growth should be fostered inside the office and out. That's why we offer you the tools to reduce student loan debt, continue your education, and even help fund your children's schooling."
"I did enjoy my time in university, primarily from what I learned from the clubs I belonged to, and later the club I formed with a few of my peers. Also, the valuable life lessons I learned from my professor, who was truly a mentor for me. What I learned from my studies served as a good measure of where I should take my self-education next and steered me in the right direction. I am an avid learner. If a question mark appears over my head, it is never there for long. If I had hard copies of every book on my Kindle Fire, I would need to buy a bigger house to fit them all in. Honestly, I found the educational opportunities within Vanguard very attractive as well and read all the information available online. What more can you tell me about it?"
