"I have always had a strong creative side and an interest in visual arts.

That experience combined with my education solidified marketing as my career of choice, and I'm excited to be interviewing for this opportunity."

This is an open-ended question that you can use to tell a story about how you became passionate about a career in marketing. You can talk about your interest in social media, something you learned in school, a previous job you had, or even something or someone that inspired you in your life.

"I have always been fascinated by consumer behavior - why people purchase the things they do and what inspires people to purchase things in the way they purchase them. Marketing is very much about knowing the consumer, how and why they buy things, and this fascination led me towards pursuing a career in marketing."
