Kevin Downey has an extensive background in business management, recruiting, branding and marketing. He's volunteered his career coaching services at job fairs, lecturing on interview techniques and crafting winning resumes and cover letters.

In many ways, the interview process for the NBCUniversal Page Program is like a typical job interview. In other ways, it is like an audition for an acting role. You are expected to display your acumen. You'll be tested on your knowledge and evaluated on how immersed in their brand you already are. You're expected to walk the walk and talk the talk as if you are already a member of the team.

There are a few interesting facts about David Sarnoff you can tie into your answer. He fought in World War Two from 1941 to 1945. He was a Brigadier General in the reserves. His nickname was The General. Include a few relevant facts in your answer, exuding the expected demeanor of an NBCUniversal Page."

Steer clear of inundating them with too many facts about David Sarnoff. They are asking who founded NBC, not for his biography. You want to come across as a walking encyclopedia of NBCUniversal. Keep a few cards up your sleeve.
