I have a high level of professionalism and would never expose confidential information. At my previous job, managers often told us of secret releases or secret business opportunities that we absolutely could not share with the public.

I dealt with highly sensitive and creative material which couldn't be shared with anyone outside of my team.

I have a very high level of professionalism and integrity. I have a strong track record for keeping sensitive information secure. I am meticulous in following protocol, and treat confidential information with the utmost care. In my previous internship, I worked on trademarks for a famous installation artist. I dealt with highly sensitive and creative material that could not be shared with anyone outside of the team. This was hard, because when I went home I couldn’t tell my spouse about it, who was a big fan of this artist.
