In this week’s episode, you’ll hear an interview with College of DuPage’s Interim Director for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion about DEI in the workplace and how to discuss DEI during a job interview. We’ll also answer a listener question about how to list multiple jobs at the same company on a resume and discuss the NACE competency of Equity and Inclusion.

 Topic #2 : Rebecca interviews Jill Salas, the COD Interim Director for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion about why DEI is important to organizations, how to determine if a company is committed to DEI efforts, and tips for answering DEI related questions in an interview.  

 Topic #3 : Michelle answers this week’s listener mail question: “I’ve worked at the same company for 3 years and have had multiple positions during this time. How do I list these experiences on my resume?”
