What You Need to Know

Before considering a candidate to represent their brand, most companies expect a candidate to be familiar with their brand's offerings and a loyal customer of their brands. So before your interview, take your time, do your homework, and brush up on everything you can to come across as knowledgeable. You want to be as fully versed as if you already work there and are prepared to meet with your first customer. Display a firm grasp of the products Pernod-Ricard SA offers. The more you know, the more engagement and interest you'll appear to have in competing for the role.

Anonymous Answer

I have been working in the fragrance industry for almost 20 years. For the first 13 years, I worked as a brand manager for luxury brands and gained experience in brand management. I spent the last seven years working in travel retail. In my current job, I work for sales and marketing and serve as a trainer for fragrance. I have a Sales and Management background and years of experience in training. Having knowledge in two fields in this industry certainly gives me the edge.
I consider myself to be a well-rounded person. I am a mother and enjoy playing the violin, learning Chinese, and working out. Despite having many responsibilities in work and my personal life, I can manage all of this because I am a passionate and determined person.

Marcie's Feedback

This is an amazing response... but it appears to be intended for a question that asks why the company should choose you over another candidate. Note that this specific question asks about your product knowledge. Just be sure to make sure your answer corresponds to the question asked. In this case, can you discuss what you know about this company's products? If you aren't knowledgeable in this area, make sure to do some research online before the interview. Good job!
