In September 2012, I applied for the position as a Brand Manager in Orkla. That was actually the only job I applied to, since I knew that this was my dream job. One month later, I had my first interview – on Skype since I was on exchange in Texas. Two more interviews, and two tests later, I god the job as a Brand Manager. I still remember the call from Orkla telling me that they offered me the job- I was thrilled! August 2013 I started my career in Orkla, as Brand Manager for Mr.Lee and Toro Rice. During my years in Orkla I have also had the responsibility for Idun Ketchup and Mustard and FUN Light. Orkla is a great place to work, with many possibilities. I couldn’t ask for a better place to work!
