Nursing Interview Question:

Tell me what do you understand by the term ‘diversity at work'?

Submitted by: Muhammad

Sometimes, it's the simple-sounding questions that trip up candidates. If you're asked about your understanding of diversity at work, the interviewer is looking for more than just “treating everybody in the same way.”

‘Don't think just in terms of answering questions. Instead, prepare a number of “stories,” which you can use to talk about different issues. In this case, most employers will expect you to discuss equality of access to services (it helps to have a general awareness of relevant legislation) and the importance of treating colleagues with support and respect,' says Cathy.

‘You may also want to talk about a time that you witnessed or demonstrated diversity awareness on the wards. Or, if relevant, you could talk about how your own background, upbringing and culture may affect your interactions with those who are different to you.'
