In addition to Microsoft's expansive employee network, they also put a lot into their diversity and inclusion program. As they say on their careers website, 'We don't just value differences, we seek them out and invite them in.' Discuss with the interviewer any experience you have with diversity and inclusion and working in a culturally diverse environment. If you have any formal training in diversity and inclusion, now is a great time to talk about that experience. In the end, try to share how you celebrate diversity and remain inclusive in the workplace.

"As a visible minority myself, I make a conscious effort to include others in learning about my unique culture. Also, I am broad-minded with it comes to the needs and differences of others. Diversity to me is not simply a matter of culture but also of gender, identity, age, and more. I am conscious of being sensitive to others in every action that I take in the workplace."

If you visit the Microsoft website you'll find that they really emphasize their diversity and inclusion program because they value differences. You can better highlight your experience working in a diverse and inclusive environment by talking about specific projects you worked on with a diverse team and how embracing those differences helped you solve problems or meet client needs. If you have any formal training in diversity and inclusion, this is also a great opportunity to talk about that experience. In the end, try to share how you celebrate diversity and remain inclusive in the workplace.
