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.

This is a standard introductory question designed to get you to relax and let your personality shine. They want to get to know you, especially if you are the right fit and their ideal candidate. "We look for people with drive and ambition, those who think, see and do things differently. We employ, develop, and promote employees based on their skills and values. So, if you're committed, engaged and have a desire to learn." So try to relax, and share who you are, why, at this point in your career you are pursuing an opportunity with them, what in your career led you here, and where you hope Virgin Atlantic will take your career next.

Kevin Downey

"I have always been passionate about travel and am something of a restless and high-energy person. I have a lot of customer service experience, and have often been described as a social butterfly. For a long time, I have dreamt of pursuing an opportunity in this industry. Then one day I was listening to a record, saw the Virgin Records record label, thought of Virgin Atlantic, thought butterflies have wings, why shouldn't I, and here I am, pursuing my dream."
