Having spent two summers volunteering with community projects in third-world countries, I have been following the progress of CPG’s partnerships with non-pro t organizations in the developing world with increasing interest. After attending the CPG presentation at the Stephen M. Ross #5 School of Business on November 1 and talking with Ben Martin and Sara Smith, it was clear that

#6 CPG’s commitment to improving the quality of life while making great products runs throughout

My leadership skills have developed largely through community service. Two summers ago, as the team leader for a building project in the Dominican Republic, I helped six high school students bring their diverse personalities and skills together to form a cohesive unit while working in a physically and emotionally challenging environment. By helping the students to cooperate with and encourage one another, we were able to nish our project ahead of schedule and then help another team. My ability to motivate my team by understanding each member’s strengths and listening to his or her opinions illustrates the communication skills and consumer empathy that would contribute to my intern success at CPG. #12

As a Digital Advertising Sales intern at Discovery Communications last summer, I tackled the analytical challenge of researching an assigned prospective client. After running Nielsen, TNS, and other reports, I found very little overlap between the prospective client’s and Discovery’s target audiences. Consequently, I reassessed the assignment and uncovered several better- tting clients. Within weeks, I presented Discovery leadership with ve realistic potential clients, along with creative ideas for marketing partnerships with DiscoveryChannel.com. These analytical skills, along with my creativity, will enable me to succeed in CPG intern projects such as competitor analysis and new product launches. #13
