"I completed my internship with a Fortune 500 company last year and was one of 30 interns in the marketing department. We had several social media campaigns and projects that focused on employee spotlights, product highlights and testimonials, and the company's sustainability efforts. I learned many valuable skills throughout my experience there and my proudest achievement was winning intern of the year as a result of nominations from my peers and leaders."

"The greatest accomplishment of my career, thus far, was graduating from college as an honors student, all while still working full time in a related field. I was at the top of my class, plus working full time. This showed me that I could dedicate myself to my career and reach the goals that I set for myself. It felt great to accomplish so much and to be recognized for my dedication. I believe that this kind of work ethic will fit well within P&G's culture of passion for winning, strategic focus, and innovation."

"My greatest career accomplishment so far is being promoted to a senior-level manager position in my current role and topping it off by closing a major deal less than 48 hours later. I was not only proud of myself but also received accolades from the VP of Sales in front of the entire company, which was a really special moment. I look forward to applying this same work ethic to P&G's environment of innovation, mastery, and seeking to be the best."
