When preparing for your interview, you'll want to familiarize yourself with everything Ralph Lauren. Go into your interview already feeling integrated into the culture. Take note of the unique corporate language they use, especially in their purpose statement, and then identify those keywords and key phrases that they frequently use on their website. Try to adopt those words and that language into your own. Or, at the very least, pinpoint how you share those values, and then communicate those in your own words. Also, if you are artistically inclined, in any way, try to tie that into your pursuit of this opportunity. For, as they say on their website, "An artist will always find a place at Ralph Lauren."

"Well, I was fortunate to have had something of a privileged upbringing. My mother was a successful stockbroker, so we were often surrounded by beautiful places and beautiful things, with style, and in style. Both she and my father had an appreciation for the finer things in life. And, as I started my career, I realized how important these sensibilities of authenticity and timeless style meant to me. As time went on, I realized I wanted to work in an environment that celebrated these sensibilities, but also surrounded by coworkers who celebrated this as well. I needed to work in teams that share my brand of artistic appreciation, who were equally dedicated for similar reasons, who care about each other, and are their genuine authentic selves. I realized in that environment, I could be my own genuine, authentic self. So, this is what I am in pursuit of, and that's my story of how I ended up here, at Ralph Lauren."

As they state online, "Ralph Lauren is a company built on authenticity, authenticity and timeless style. We've also built a world-class reputation as a company that does business honestly and with integrity. Our reputation for being reliable and trustworthy, for being authentic, relates not only to our collections but also to our customer transactions." And, they describe themselves as a company with purpose. "Dedicated, engaged, focused. We deliver on our purpose every day. We represent a diversity of stories, talents and experiences, and are united in our purpose: to inspire the dream of a better life through authenticity and timeless style." Lastly, they describe their "world-class teams" which they've worked so hard to build as entrepreneurial, creative, strong, who've built strong collaborative relationships with each other, and together are driven to elevate and celebrate authentic American design and culture.
