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.

Your interviewer knows this opportunity is exciting and can open a lot of doors for you, but they want to know what you'd contribute to NBCUniversal. They want to know how your goals and experience align with their goals. Most importantly, they want to know why an applicant wants to be a part of NBCUniversal. They'll value candidates who aim to contribute to their goals in a meaningful way while also advancing their careers.

NBCUniversal is so much more than the content they produce. How familiar you are with their company's mission, the positive impact they have on their viewers, and their local and global impact will influence their decision to hire you or not. Examine their values and principles. Research their accomplishments and awards. Lastly, determine how well those factors align with your values and vision and how your pursuit to work for them would be mutually beneficial.

Kevin Downey

As excited as you might be to interview for this position, don't let your enthusiasm get the best of you. Your emotional investment can be misinterpreted as a presumption that you'll get the role. Be confident, yet humble in your answer.

"My father taught me that life is hard, and working at a job you like just doesn't happen unless you win the jackpot. So I thought if I want to work at a job I love, I have to win the jackpot. For me, working in NBCUniversal's Page Program would be winning the jackpot. I just want to love my work, and work at what I love."

I want to join the NBCU’s page because of the level of excellence I've seen within the program from past page alums who have gone on to have amazing careers. The values and beliefs of integrity, creativity, teamwork, ownership, and the pioneering spirit are something I believe heavily in. Especially when it comes to my work, and the page program checks off all of those beliefs. My dad once told me that in life working at a job you like just doesn't happen unless you win the jackpot. So I thought if I wanted to work at a job I love, I have to win the jackpot. For me, being a Page would be winning that jackpot for me. I just want to love my work and work at what I love.
