Diversity & inclusion is a very focused issue at CVS Pharmacy. They serve millions of people every day, and they believe that, for their company to thrive, they need to have a workforce that reflects their customer base and the communities they serve. Your interviewer needs to know that you also value diversity and inclusion among the team you work as part of with CVS Pharmacy and the customers you will be working with every day.

"I enjoy listening to the stories of people from generations before me and with backgrounds different from my own. I will eagerly strike up a conversation with anyone to learn something new. I recently read that ageism is still a prevalent issue in the workplace, which I find unfortunate. My mentor once suggested that I seek friendships with people of different generations, and that advice has stuck with me. There are many benefits of friendships across generations, including a much broader perspective on life. I also notice different communication styles and core values, which I find interesting. Rest assured, should you choose me to join the CVS Pharmacy team, I will get to know my co-workers with an open mind and an interest in their background and story."

When you build relationships with people of a different background from yours, you must be open-minded, ready to listen, eager to learn, and open to new situations. Everybody has a powerful and unique story regarding their background, culture, experiences, and beliefs. Talk to the interviewer about the experience you bring relating to others with a narrative different from your own.
