Yes

What advice would you give to others applying to Unilever

My advice to anyone applying to Unilever is to do some research beforehand on the company's values and 100s of brands!

Be prepared to show how you can work effectively in diverse teams, take initiative, and adapt to new challenges. Proactivity is gold dust!
