As an environmental scientist, you will face a significant amount of diversity among your coworkers. Are you accustomed to this?

"I would say that pretty much every company I have worked for has valued diversity. Working with people from all walks of life help shed different perspectives and identify potential problems faster."

Working in a scientist role, you will have co-workers that come from many backgrounds, specialties, areas of focus, and years of experience. Explain your experience working with a very large or diverse team of individuals or maybe with cross-functional teams. Assure the interviewer that you can handle an environment that offers diversity.

"I have worked with diverse groups of people most of my career, including my time in university. I am most comfortable, and happy, in this type of environment because it offers a great learning opportunity."
