At Wells Fargo, you will work alongside other employees and likely be customer-facing, so it's essential to have experience working with a diverse group of people to be successful. Describe the customer demographics you have experience working with and who you connect with most easily. Take this opportunity to discuss your experience working in this environment and refrain from speaking negatively about customers and coworkers.

"I have worked with people from all backgrounds and personalities. Whenever I join a new team, I make a point to get to know each person and find ways we can connect. I'm outgoing and friendly with everyone I meet while respecting their different styles and any open ideas they may bring to the team."

"I have a lot of experience working with a variety of age groups. I find that my approach varies whether they are a younger adult or an older adult, but I get along fine with all people. I'm an extrovert, so I have no trouble breaking the ice in a conversation, and I work to build relationships with coworkers and customers."

"I'm a very easy-going person and get along with almost everyone. I respect others and treat them with kindness. I often try to put myself in the other person's shoes to better understand their perspective. I've found that this helps bridge the gap sometimes in communication and understanding. I understand that people are diverse in their experiences, backgrounds, education, and personalities, and I accept people for who they are. I work to leverage their strengths, so they are successful, as well as the team and organization."
