The performance of consumer products relies greatly on advertising and marketing efforts. Do you have any experience with advertising, marketing, or market research?

"I have always been fascinated with the correlation between marketing strategies and product performance. This is why I studied marketing and communication in college. I have a bachelor's degree in marketing, plus additional training in advertising methods from my current employer. I have seen creative and strategic marketing campaigns take an underperforming product and make it a strong contender in as short as 90 days. I look forward to putting my knowledge in marketing and advertising toward a role with Kimberly-Clark."

"Although I do not have formal training and education in advertising and marketing, I love to research new marketing techniques. I'm a strong writer, so I feel that I could put that skill to use in helping the organization communicate effectively with both internal and external audiences. On the consumer front, I also have a strong understanding of several social media algorithms, including how to have your posts seen by the right audience. I'd look forward to using that skill for the good of the organization, along with learning more about more traditional marketing, advertising, and communications tactics."

If you have direct experience in advertising, marketing, or market research, now is the best time to discuss that experience in detail. If you don't have direct experience in these are, that is okay. Just be sure you come prepared to discuss how vital they are at Kimberly-Clark.

"I feel very fortunate to have had exposure to the marketing and advertising side of business during my internship six months ago. The project I was assigned to was on a team bringing a newly designed clothing design to market. It was a great experience which I feel will be very beneficial to my future work here at Kimberly-Clark."
