Before the interview, create a five-year career plan. If you wrote one a while ago, update it, evaluating where you've come from, where you are going, and where you currently stand in the framework of your plan. Then plan five years out from there. Evaluate where The NBCUniversal Page Program fits into that plan. Doing so will assist you in delivering the perfect answer to this question.

"I've been a cinephile from an early age. I'm a performer and love an audience. This led to my degree in journalism and Applied Theatre, which led me to pursue a career in entertainment and media. I developed my plan when I was accepted into NYU. Now, in the fourth year of my five-year plan, I'm aiming to get my foot in the door of an entertainment company that has similar values, goals, and insights towards innovation to my own. My interests are broad, and I'm flexible, knowing life is rarely a linear path. Wherever I land a position, I plan to revise my five-year plan then. Wherever I end up, I'll be grateful for the opportunities and the challenges it offers and will make the absolute best of the self-growth I gain. That way, I'll be able to repay the company that started my career by giving my all."

I've always had a creative mindset even as a child. I love putting on a good show for an audience. Which led to me getting my degree in communications, with a core focus on entertainment & media. So I set a plan for myself, in my sophomore year of college aiming to get my foot through the doors of an entertainment company that shares similar values, beliefs, and insight to my own. My interests are really broad because I'm always open and flexible to learning and adapting to new skills. I know that life is not always going to be a straight path. But wherever I end up, I'll be forever grateful and humble for the opportunities and the challenges it offers, and will make the best of the self-growth that I'm going to gain. That way, I can repay the company that started my career by giving my all.
