Goodyear has made a serious commitment to the hiring of veterans, women, and other diverse workgroups. This question is designed for the interviewer to determine if you have researched Goodyear before your interview and assess your ability to be a team player who shares the company's ideas of inclusion. Reassure the hiring manager that you can look past differences and work alongside a person who may be culturally different from you.

James McMechan

James McMechan has over 30 years of management experience, primarily in the hospitality and auto industries. He has interviewed hundreds of applicants and trained effective and engaged employees.

"Part of the reason why I applied to work here is that your company has such a history of inclusion. I have no problems working with others because I use these relationships to learn and grow as a person. My roommate in college was Hispanic, and I learned to appreciate his culture as we attended classes together."

"I love working with others, particularly those who are from different backgrounds than myself. I don't believe that your kind of worldview makes a difference as long as it doesn't interfere with your job duties. I pride myself on being accepting of others and try to treat everyone as I would want them to treat me."
