"I took the time to read through Boeing's diversity and inclusion statement online prior to applying and I was thoroughly impressed. The awards and accolades that Boeing has received in recent years for a commitment to employing disabled individuals, military veterans, and women are very impressive. I am also 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. Boeing embodies inclusion, and has shown consistent progress in these D&I efforts compared to your competition."

"One of the most important aspects of diversity, equity, and inclusion plans that I feel some companies are missing is making significant investments to work toward greater levels of equity within our communities. As an analyst, I know that problems these large can take time to resolve and they are multifaceted. I was excited to see that Boeing has made a commitment to work to address one of the root causes of the issues we face globally. Boeing's investment in and support of non-profit groups fighting for equity is impressive, and I would be honored to work for a company that is willing to invest in the lives of the communities in which its employees live."

Talk to your interviewer about the positive experiences you have had working in a diverse environment. To give your interviewer the sense that you will embrace and thrive in the environment at Boeing, don't hesitate to talk about your commitment to valuing diversity in the workplace. This can be especially effective if an equity, diversity, and inclusion program has positively affected you recently.
Consider concepts you've learned through participation in business resource groups, training you've taken, and developing or implementing policy improvements. Discuss how you have worked to increase your awareness and mention any of the Boeing-specific programs you would be excited to participate in if hired.
