Why it’s worth going
CPG companies offer structured rotational programs and brand management tracks that provide comprehensive business training, making them excellent launching pads for general management careers. Major CPG firms like Nestlé (which attended the Fall 2025 version of this fair, as mentioned on the page) actively recruit at Schulich and often have multiple openings across functions from finance to supply chain to marketing. While marketing-focused, CPG companies also hire finance and accounting students for commercial finance, FP&A, and business analysis roles that work closely with brand teams.
Going in prepared
Research the specific CPG brands that will be represented and be prepared to discuss their products, recent campaigns, or market positioning to demonstrate genuine consumer understanding and business curiosity. Even if you’re pursuing finance or accounting roles, understand that CPG companies value commercial thinking, so be ready to discuss consumer trends, competitive dynamics, and business strategy alongside your technical skills. Prepare examples of leadership, teamwork, and analytical problem-solving, as CPG recruiters typically assess candidates on both technical capabilities and broader business judgment.
