I have been fortunate to work with a diverse group of people at my previous job. We worked with clients from Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. It was a great experience to work with people from different businesses. I believe that genuinely being part of the global economy is a life-changing experience.

Very nicely said. You do a great job highlighting your relevant global experience. If the interview allows, be sure to expand your response with further details on your involvement with these international clients.

In my previous company, we had a very diverse group of people who ranged in age, race, experience, gender, and more. No matter what it looks like or where it's from, I embraced it fully. One of my favorite aspects of the H&M family of brands is the commitment to all types of fashion expression.

The interviewer wants to know that you accept others and their differences and that you are able to work well with all types of people (both coworkers and clients or customers). Good job.
