Zhining Hu – Job Ad Analysis

1. I have been interested in getting into Kraft for some time. Previous to my research, I knew that the company bought DANONE’s biscuit (cookie) and cereal division in 2007 and CADBURY in early 2010. In addition, it was a TV show in 2008 that interviewed their newly appointed CEO of China, Lorna Davis,after the purchase of DANONE that inspired me to pursue a career in the food industry in the first place. Therefore, Kraft is definitely a company that I would be delighted to work in.

2. Yes, the company has a website. It’s http://www.kraftfoodscompany.com/home/index.aspx. Kraft believes that they make the brands people. No matter what the occasion, they take food to heart. Their higher purpose, make today delicious, is about much more than the products they make. It defines them, unites them and inspires them to make a delicious difference in the company, in the communities and in the world. They also believe that their people are their secret ingredient to success.

3. Kraft Foods recruits and expects motivated, active learners. Development is a career-long process and is most effective when it includes diverse experiences and focuses on doing the work of the organization.

4. They are looking for someone with a college degree with an educational background in logistics business logistics. They indicate that the person should have organizational ability, leadership skills and working knowledge of computer-related systems. The applicant must also be someone who is creative, patient and have an understanding of the consumer goods industry.

I think that among these qualifications, educational background in logistics business logistics and a great understanding of the consumer goods industry is more important.
