Main thing I look for in a young candidate is a unique cultural perspective and curiosity. Doesn't matter what degree you have or where / if you've interned, but if you have something interesting to bring about culture, then I'll be listening.

One of the most revealing questions I think is "what was the last book you loved?" If you tell me you haven't read anything lately (or if you tell me it's a book on business or advertising), that's pretty much the end of that.

Following for insight

Wait, why is loving a book on advertising or business bad? I’ve read a lot of business books I love

Well, you caught me doing my favorite thing – reading a good book! You know, I like to think of my mind as a big, empty bucket, just waiting to be filled with pictures and words and.. whatever. Surprise me! That’s why Vogue is my favorite book.

@sad1 you have to take it with a grain of salt. It's only one person's opinion...

@SAD1 as have I. Just not something I think shows who you are or your unique POV. If we're all just reading and talking about the same books on advertising and business, don't know that that makes for a very interesting group of people

Fair!

I like to apply for Product Manager roles at Amazon since I like the role. I have done front office CRM (SAP) implementations for Fortune50 clients through Accenture.
