Hi, thank you for taking the time to leave a review here, and for being so open and candid about your experience. Our Life Story sessions are designed to be conversational, we want to get to know you! It’s important for us to find out the ‘why’ behind what drives you, what makes you passionate about the problems we’re trying to solve, and how our values align together. We take a holistic approach when considering a candidate for a position, as we value you as the human you are! The question “Please tell me about yourself” is open-ended. This allows you to share candidly from any area of your life, so you're comfortable in what you’re sharing. You can take this time to share what you believe is the most important information for us to know! This open conversational-style discussion gives you the space to share your skills and experience from your unique point of view, and that’s what we’re most interested in.
At Shopify, we believe the future includes more voices, in tech and entrepreneurship. Racial diversity is an organizational imperative here and we have launched several different initiatives to both increase diversity and foster a greater sense of belonging. We hire people who care deeply, who are here to do their life’s work. In return, we care just as deeply about their experiences, how we show up as an employer, and how we can best enable them to do that work. The points you’ve mentioned during your interview is valuable feedback for our team to take on board, I’ve passed this along to them now on your behalf.
Thank you again for your review, it is greatly appreciated!
