As you think about your career, consider the important value your diverse background can provide to a position and organization. Remember that many employers appreciate employees’ unique perspectives and insights.
Things to consider in your job search:
- Everyone communicates differently and brings their own background and lived experiences to their job search.
- Consider your individual values and personal communication style. How would you like both of these aspects of yourself to be reflected in your professionalism?
- Consider an organization’s commitment to equity and inclusion. You can typically look for an equity or values statement on the company’s website or position description to get a sense for organizational values.
