One way that a potential employer will gauge 'fit' with the MSLs they consider is by ensuring that you are passionate about their particular industry and look to stay educated and up to date on new trends in their field. This question opens the floor for you to talk about the ways that you keep yourself educated in your field.

"I have been a member of the MSLS for five years now and have been an active participant in training events and conferences that they have on an annual basis. I love being able to network with other MSL professionals and have a solid network of contacts I consult with on a regular basis. I also subscribe to a few great publications, including the NEJM and the Neurology Journals, to help stay on top of new technologies and trends in the field."

The best way to show your natural interest in your role is to study industry trends, newsworthy events, and policy changes. Show the interviewer that you are still excited about your industry by openly discussing how you stay on top of industry trends. If you belong to any societies or MSL-related groups, now is a great time to talk about that and the benefits that you have reaped from your memberships.
