      1st Answer Example

      "I have applied to a few roles within the industry and am currently interviewing with one other company. My primary interest, though, is with P&G because your products align perfectly with my product expertise, and I believe your overall focus on your purpose, values, and principles meshes well with my own personal values."

      2nd Answer Example

      "I am active in my search and previously have interviewed with two of your national competitors. With one, I have advanced to a second interview. With the other, I participated in a telephone interview just yesterday. With that said, I am most interested in this role with Procter and Gamble because this position is the best fit for my education and experience, and your corporate values of integrity, leadership, ownership, passion, and trust describe the kind of environment in which I believe I'd be most successful."

      "I actually did not. I applied to other companies which are not competing with P&G at all. I really want the business I work for to be providing products I love and talk about to everyone (such as the Oral B IO), but also to align with my values. I also am looking to work for an international company as I would like to leverage my Spanish."

      Marcie's Feedback

      Nice job! Your answer shows that you are specifically interested in P&G because you like its products and values, as well as the fact it's a large, international company. It's also positive that you mention that you are bi-lingual.
