      2nd Answer Example

      "I am currently on a project team with my current employer that is working on new and improved ways to promote diversity hiring. I was asked to be on this project to represent my department. While I don't have an HR background, this project sure has opened my eyes regarding how biased processes can impact the diversity of hires within an organization. In looking to join Microsoft, I love the fact that your organization is so open to learning your own biases and inviting in cultural differences for the betterment of the organization."
