Tell us about yourself.
Your resume and cover letter got you this far. Now your interviewers want to know more about you. Your answer will clue them in to your passions, hobbies, and your job-centric interests. The culture of NBC Universal is unique, and they're curious how you'll fit into the company culture, especially as a representative of their culture and brand. An NBC Universal Page is a tour guide and a representative of their brand. How you answer this question will inform them how closely your passions and ideals are aligned to what they represent.
You can use this icebreaker to highlight your interesting work accomplishments or life experiences. Prepare a professionally toned answer by answering these four fundamental questions: "Who am I," "Why am I here," "Where do I come from," and "Where am I going." Align your passions with the functions of the role of an NBC Universal Page. Make your answer concise, positive, and relaxed. Make it fun while keeping it professional. A page needs to feel comfortable with all personality types. Appeal to the personality of the interviewer without being too familiar while maintaining your professionalism. Think of it as practice for the role of tour guide, being a fun resource of information.
Don't get too conversational in the interview unless the interviewer sets that tone. When answering questions like this, most candidates aren't sure how to present themselves, where to start, where to end, or how to elaborate their points with relevance to the position they're interviewing for. The trick is to compose your answer in advance and rehearse it. This is your first impression, so be confident and sincere.
"I'm 21 years old, born in New York City, and a senior at NYU. I'm double majoring in journalism with a minor in Applied Theatre. I've interned at CNN, and I love writing teleplays and screenplays and performing open mic comedy whenever I can. From an early age, I've been a walking cinephile encyclopedia. I've often been described as easygoing, a master multitasker, a friend to all and enemy to none, and an emotional rock."

I'm 23 years old. I was born in Gambia, West Africa, and raised in Brooklyn, New York. I'm a recent graduate from Bowie State University and the first person in my family to graduate from college. I majored in communications with a minor in theater. I was also a student-athlete, I played football and ran track. I've interned for Warner Bros., Discovery in Burbank, California as a Film & TV development intern and for the Contemporary American Theater Festival in Shepherdstown, West Virginia as a Video Production and marketing intern. I love writing and creating stories. I hope to write a children's sports novel like the Barber brothers someday. I'm also a huge cinephile, and my love for movies run deep since I was a kid. Watching movies like 3 Ninjas, Spiderman, Dear John, and the list can go on. I'm easygoing, enthusiastic, a great multitasker, and a friend to all, and an enemy to none. I'm also an emotional rock if you ever need one.
