Find your Fit

Research

Taking time to research the company or organization can reveal a lot about their environment. Taking these steps can help determine if an organization is the right place for you to work.

• Visit their website and review their mission statement.
• Do they show a commitment to DEI anywhere on their website?
• Read reviews of the company and visit their LinkedIn page.
• Does their staff appear diverse?

Stand Out

Update your resume/cover letter to make your stand out among your competition to diverse and inclusive organizations. All of these may have components of promoting diversity and inclusion.

• Highlight any identity-based organizations or clubs you have been a part of or conferences you have attended.
• Were you involved in volunteering, committees, etc.?
• Do you speak more than one language?

Interview

Remember, you are interviewing the organization just as much as they are interviewing you!

• Ask about team morale and office culture.
• Affinity Groups are formed around shared interests and goals. Similarly, Employee Resource Groups (ERG’s) are employee-led groups that foster a diverse and inclusive workplace. Ask if the organization has or is willing to support affinity or employee resource groups.
