Passion and inspiration are a vital part of life at Varian Medical Systems and your interviewer is looking to gain insight on what your knowledge and/or experience is with cancer treatment and how passionate you will be working in the industry. You can draw on your knowledge from both your own personal experience outside of work or any on the job experience you have and then tie that experience towards the passion you would exhibit on the job. Be sure to research the cancer fighting solutions in radiosurgery, radiotherapy and proton therapy that Varian Medical System produces and talk to their importance in the treatment of cancer.

"As you can see from my resume, my engineering experience falls solely in the electronics manufacturing industry outside of healthcare. But what I lack in direct experience working with equipment used to fight cancer I make up for in passion in helping tomorrow's physicians and care providers help fight the nasty disease. I recently lost my best friend to a brain cancer that was left untreated as it had progressed to far by the time it was discovered. His loss shook his family, friends and loved ones terribly, including myself. This alone would drive me to help create and design new and innovative products that would help survival rates of those diagnosed in the future."

In my previous experience as a Systems Engineer, a majority of the projects I worked under the healthcare domain. However, I lacked direct experience working with the Oncology department. In my search for a new position, my top goal is to stay where I can do my part to be a difference maker in the lives of others. When it comes to field service, I would be able to train and be up and running in a short amount of time.
