Answer
An important part of the initial interview and possible follow-up interviews with the EEO Counselor is to ensure that each discriminatory event, or claim, contains the key elements necessary for the EEO Counselor to frame each claim.
For each event/claim, key elements include the specific discriminatory act or event that occurred, the associated EEO basis of discrimination, the employee or management official(s) responsible for the discriminatory act, and significant dates associated with the event. You will also be asked to provide remed(ies) that would restore you to the same position (or nearly the same) that you would have been if the discrimination had never occurred. Coming to the interview well prepared with this information will result in a more productive interview that will equip the EEO Counselor with the information necessary to more effectively assist you with the EEO process.
