Are you familiar with Fonterra's main global brands?

"Yes, I'm very familiar with the NZMP, Anchor, and Anchor Food Professionals line of brands here at Fonterra. Having been an avid consumer of Anchor cheeses, butter, and milk, I'm most familiar with that brand since it's found at any local grocery store. Prior to my interview, it was great to familiarize myself with the restaurant-grade products found in your Food Professionals line and the wide variety of proteins, cheeses, and other milk products in your NZMP line."

"As your next development technologist, it sounds like I'll get the opportunity to work on the development of ultra-high temperature milk, powders, and beverages. I would assume these products stem across the Anchor Food Professionals, Anchor, and NZMP brand lines here at Fonterra. I've done a lot of reading on these brands prior to the interview and would love to hear more about this role and the involvement among all three."

The answer to this question is not complicated, but it will take some research prior to your interview with Fonterra. Make sure you take the time to read about their three main global brands on their website and familiarize yourself with the popular products that are associated with each brand. If the job you are interviewing for or the plant you are interviewing at is focused on a specific brand, make sure to let your interviewer know that you are excited about the chance to work with those products.
