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 wants to know how familiar you are with their brand. Branding is the identity and personality of a company and what represents its work culture. Your answer to this question should reveal your brand loyalty and how well you'll fit into their culture.

Before your interview, research Verizon and its competitors. Describe how their brand sets itself apart from others. Capitalize on any positive association you or their typical consumers attach to their particular brand. Emphasize how Verizon inspires brand loyalty over that of its competition.

Kevin Downey

"No one can compete with Verizon. But, according to what I found online when performing my research on the company to prepare for the interview, AT&T, T-Mobile, KORE Wireless, Aeris, Vodafone, Sierra Wireless, Telit, and Deutsche Telekom are listed as Verizon's main competitors. The consistency of Verizon's customer service, product quality, and innovation set them apart in my humble opinion."
