Also, always ask for next steps after each interview which will show your engagement and enthusiasm for the role. Lastly, sending a thank you follow up email to the interviewers will go a long way.

Best part about working at Stryker: We are so fortunate to work for a global company that fosters employee growth and career development.

I have helped hired a teacher, an Olympian, a Muay Thai boxer, and professional athletes to Stryker which makes my job fun & exciting. Seeing their career progressions within Stryker really fills my bucket.
Fun fact: I am a part of the Asian Community Empowerment (ACE) Employee Resource Group where we embrace different cultures and people from a diverse background. At the Redmond campus, we hosted our 10-year anniversary of the Lunar New Year celebration where we had a traditional attire contest, mariachi band, lion dance, martial arts and served international foods. Ask me about Stryker’s Employee Resource Groups!
