QUESTION 1 OF 30

What interests you in a career as an aquatic biologist?

The interviewer wants to determine why you decided to take the career path that you have chosen. Many times, the interviewer is looking to see that you are passionate about the career that you are interviewing for.

Tell the interviewer what made you decide on your career path. Maybe it was an interest that you have had since childhood or maybe you decided on the career path that you are on later in life while in college. Talk about what you enjoy about the industry that you are working in and why you have chosen this specific career path.

"I have always been interested in science but while in college, I had a class on aquatic biology and was extremely interested. I grew up spending my weekends on a boat and have always had a passion for being on the water. Aquatic biology is really the best of both worlds for me with being able to work with science and water."
