"I took the time to read Allergan's diversity and inclusion statement online. I was impressed that your organization embraces the differences in people, their experiences, and how they view the world. This plan is important because you have an incredible dedication to creating products that serve everyone rather than a specific demographic. Your company embodies inclusion and has shown consistent progress in these D&I efforts compared to your competition."

Before attending your interview with Allergan, take the time to research the hiring company's D&I plan on their website. Take some time to review the company's mission and vision regarding embracing equality in the workplace and discuss why their approach is attractive to you. If you have experience working in a culturally rich and diverse environment, now is a great time to discuss how that benefited you and your team.

"Over the last ten years in the workforce, I've thrived working among a diverse team, and this was a very important aspect of my job search that led me to Allergan. I was very impressed to read about Allergan and Skinbetter Science's collaboration on the DREAM Initiative to expand resources for patients and help treat dermatologic conditions across the full spectrum of skin types and patients of color. This commitment told me all I need to know about your focus on diversity and inclusion."
