Product Description
How to Ask Inclusive Interview Questions
- Discover why the wording of commonly asked interview questions can make it difficult for diverse applicants to respond in the expected manner.
- Learn alternative ways for asking inclusive questions to obtain quality answers from all applicants.
- Examine diversity-related topics to avoid and methods to remain inclusive during the interview process.
This training examines interviewers’ expected responses to commonly asked interview questions that may go unmet due to unconscious bias, reasons why these questions might be difficult for diverse applicants to answer, and explores alternative methods for asking more inclusive interview questions. Guidelines are presented for ways interviewers can help diverse applicants feel more welcomed and comfortable during the interview, which in turn will allow interviewers to obtain more complete responses to their questions.

What This Training Is and Is Not
This training is grounded in decades of Lila Kelly’s research and experience in diversity, equity, inclusion (DEI), and the hiring process. It includes a variety of examples of situations where unconscious bias can exist, both at individual and systemic levels. Most of these examples can exist whether interviewing applicants or meeting new customers, patients, students, or their families.
This training is not just a video. It is designed for the active learner to think more deeply about these issues and involves reading text, watching short videos, and responding to activity questions and quizzes.
This training is not a quick fix. Effective DEI work takes time, and this training is a great starting point that includes ideas and suggestions for continuing to raise awareness, eliminate bias, and make sustainable changes in your hiring process.
