This question often causes candidates to stumble. Interviewers want to know whether an applicant grasps what is required of the role as a page at NBCUniversal. They also want to determine what differentiates you from their other candidates. One applicant can blend into another if they deliver similar answers or even make the same jokes during an interview. Interviewers look for applicants who show that they are original, creative, and credible. Understanding how complex the role is and what's expected will go a long way.

Explain how you'd be an asset to the company. You have no control over how qualified or how well your fellow candidates perform in their interviews, but you can control how close to the front of the line you get. Research the role and the company. Talk to former pages to get a better understanding of what the company is looking for. Read every article you can about the demands of the job. Once you know everything you can about what's expected of the ideal candidate, determine what you offer that makes you a perfect fit for the role. Then, articulate your answer in a way other applicants might not. Doing so may increase your chances of moving forward through the hiring process. If you aren't willing to go the extra mile to attain something you want, they have no reason to believe you would do so for NBCUniversal.

Highlight the legwork you went through to gain a better understanding of the role. Keep your tone professional and less conversational unless the interviewer has set a different example. Be specific and provide examples when able. Touch on your soft skills as much as your hard skills. Exhibit comfort in stepping outside of your comfort zone and exude relaxed confidence in a way that distinguishes you from the herd.
