Dear Hiring Manager at Microsoft,
My journey in promoting diversity and inclusion began in the most unexpected place - a small startup where I was the only woman in a tech team of twenty. It was there I realized the profound impact diversity has on innovation and team dynamics. Fast forward to today, and I’ve turned that realization into a career mission. At Microsoft, a leader in not just technology but also in championing diversity, I see the perfect platform to amplify my impact as a Senior Diversity and Inclusion Specialist.
Leading the diversity charter at RW Tech Company, I implemented initiatives that doubled the representation of women in tech roles and introduced policies supporting LGBTQ+ employees, which were recognized in industry forums. These weren’t just numbers to me; they were stories of real people who finally felt seen and heard.
My strategy focuses on creating sustainable change through policy, education, and advocacy, ensuring diversity and inclusion are woven into the fabric of the company culture.
At Resume Worded, I also launched a mentorship program for underrepresented minorities, leading to a 50% increase in their career advancement within the company. This experience taught me the power of allyship and mentorship in building an inclusive culture.
I’m keen to bring this holistic approach to Microsoft, leveraging my experience to foster an environment where every employee can thrive.
The opportunity to work at Microsoft excites me because it’s a place where diversity and inclusion are not just buzzwords but are deeply embedded in the company’s ethos. I am particularly impressed by Microsoft’s initiatives around accessibility and mental health, areas I am deeply passionate about.
Thank you for considering my application. I am eager to bring my blend of experience, passion, and strategic thinking to Microsoft, contributing to making it an even more inclusive place to work.
Best,
[Your Name]
