Before you apply, get to know us! NBCUniversal is one of the world’s leading media and entertainment companies. Whether you are movie buff, a digital enthusiast, or a sports fanatic, here you can create the extraordinary.

• Take some time to learn about our portfolio on our Brands page.
• Follow us on Instagram and LinkedIn to stay up-to-date on job opportunities, business updates, and the latest happenings across NBCUniversal.

Pro Tip: Doing your research will help set you up for success when thinking about why you’d like to work at NBCUniversal. Plus, we love fans – let us know what you’re passionate about! 

A resume details your skills, work experience, and education, but most importantly, your accomplishments. Think of your resume as an informational document that tells your career story.

• Align your resume to the qualifications listed on the job description by highlighting your relevant education, work experience, and skills (languages, software systems, certifications).  
• List your experience in reverse chronological order starting with the most recent at the top. Be mindful to use the proper tense. For former roles, use past tense and for current roles, use present tense.
• In most cases, your resume should be limited to one page and only include the last 10 years of your work experience. If there are any gaps in your resume, you can explain further in a cover letter.  
• Quantify your accomplishments as much as possible. For example, “Increased sales revenue by 10% YOY.”
• Save as PDF (not HTML or Text or Word) and name your resume files with your first and last name.  

Pro Tip:  Be sure to check spelling, grammar and formatting before submitting your application.   

Your personal brand helps you to stand out from other candidates by giving the hiring team a better understanding of your values and how you express them. Your brand outlines your distinct talents and what you represent. It’s your opportunity to tell the story about your professional journey and career goals.

• Clearly communicate your top values.
• Share what drives you to be your best self.
• Think about ways your passions align with your work.

Pro Tip: If you’re still defining your personal brand, consider the adjectives that people use to describe you. Ask yourself what excites and energizes you in your work.  

Your online presence includes any professional pages that a Recruiter or hiring team may review throughout your application and interview process. This could include anything from your LinkedIn profile to a portfolio or reel.

• Manage your online presence by keeping your sites up to date with your most recent professional experience.
• Make sure your website, reel or portfolio is easy to access and includes a password, if needed.  
• Focus on the quality of your work rather than the quantity. Include the projects you’re most proud of that show off your thought process and style.
• Ask someone to test drive your site. It never hurts to have an extra set of eyes!

Pro Tip: Consider the type of role you may be pursuing when building your online presence. Technical blogs can help demonstrate your UI skills, while demo reels are a great way to showcase creative experience.

Depending on the role you’re applying for, you may be asked to take part in a couple of different types and rounds of interviews. These include phone screens, video or in‑person interviews. Your Recruiter will be there along the way to answer any questions. To help you prepare for your interview and navigate what comes after, here are some tips to set you up for success:

Before the Interview

• Review the job description, note how your skills align, and be ready to share why you’re interested in the role and NBCUniversal.
• Research your interviewer(s) by looking into their professional background on LinkedIn.
• For a phone or virtual interview, test your connection and find a quiet space free of distractions.

After the Interview

• Personalize your thank you notes or emails to each person you’ve met with throughout the interview experience.
• Feel free to send any supporting documents you may have discussed with the hiring team.
• Ask your Recruiter the best way to follow up about next steps.

Pro Tip: Keep in mind that the interview process takes some time, but don’t worry - your Recruiter will be sure to keep you informed throughout the process.

What’s Totally Fine (and What Isn’t):

Using AI to polish your resume or prep for an interview? Go for it. Using it to learn more about NBCUniversal or the team you’re excited about? Absolutely. But during interviews, your responses need to be your own. Misrepresenting your experience, whether through a person or a tool, can lead to disqualification.

We want to meet the real YOU.
