"I am thankful to have worked for companies that are highly conscious of their diversity efforts and inclusion programs. Some of the efforts that I have been part of include changing job ads to include only inclusive phrasing and information. While working as an HR Assistant, I learned how to write formal job criteria and promotion criteria to help managers avoid biased workplace decisions. My education in business taught me the importance of diversity in the workplace. While attending the University of XYZ, I took coursework on gender, diversity, and leadership in the workplace. During this coursework, I learned how the HR sector has changed over the years, with an increased demand for organizational diversity. I am eager to take this knowledge and my inclusive mindset to support your organization's diversity efforts."

As a working professional, you should be ready to take your education, life, and career experiences to help you succeed in a diverse workplace environment. Discuss your exposure to diversity in the workplace, show that you have a solid understanding of the depth of diversity and inclusion in business environments, and assure the interviewer that you will succeed in Quest Diagnostic's diverse work community.

"I love that my current work environment is very diverse because it allows knowledge and opinions from a wide array of people in a team-based setting. It has allowed for new ways of thinking and innovation in processes that likely wouldn't have happened in a homogenous setting. I loved reading about Quest Diagnostic's commitment to a diverse and inclusive workforce, and it's something I would be proud to be a part of."
