The interviewer is checking for your understanding of simple terms related to the meat production and food industry. CPG stands for Consumer Packaged Goods. Various items fall into the CPG category, but for the most part, we reserve the term for things that consumers use regularly. CPG products can include food, beverage, even clothing, and household products. Determine how Tyson Foods falls into the CPG category and then be prepared to explain what you understand CPG to mean. Next, take a few moments to walk the interviewer through your experience in the CPG industry. Outline the products you have worked with, and inside of which companies. If you are new to your career, be sure to show a solid understanding of the industry while expressing your keen interest in learning more about CPG at Tyson Foods.

"CPG stands for Consumer Packaged Goods and refers to many items that consumers use daily. I have worked in the CPG industry for the past eight years, first within the clothing and textiles industry with Company ABC and then moving into food and beverage with Company XYZ. I much prefer working within the food and beverage industry because of the fast pace and exciting food trends that I get to be a part of."

"I have researched CPG before interviewing at Tyson Foods today, knowing that knowledge of Consumer Packaged Goods industry would be helpful in the interview process. I have worked in a retail environment surrounded by CPGs, such as my time with ABC Grocery and XYZ Clothing. I understand consumer packaged goods to be items that people use every day, such as food, clothing, and personal care items."
