A crucial part of human resources is being able to work with people who are different than you. This could mean differences in background, race, religion, ability, education, or belief system. Hiring managers want to ensure that you will help maintain their positive company culture by adapting to whatever team you join. Demonstrate to the interviewer that you are more than capable of working with individuals of diverse backgrounds. You might point to a previous or current role that led you to be part of a diverse team. Or, you might have only been in relatively homogenous work environments. If that's the case, share that while highlighting the traits you hold that will contribute to your success in a diverse environment.

"I have worked with hundreds of patients over the years, all coming from different backgrounds, ages, and cultures. I treat everyone with respect and provide the same level of excellent care to all. I also speak French and am able to communicate effectively with that population as well."

"I am so glad you pointed out your need for diversity at Canadian Blood Services. I greatly value diversity. I grew up in a fairly homogeneous town in Montana. When I hit my 20's, it was so important to me to learn about other cultures. I worked with community volunteer organizations in Peru, inner-city Chicago, and Russia."
