1. At 3M we put a lot of emphasis on clear communication between all parties, departments, and sectors of our business. Tell me about your communication style.
How to Answer
The interviewer would like to be assured that your communication style is a close match to the communication preferences of 3M. When working for a conglomerate vs. a smaller, privately owned business your communication style automatically becomes more 'corporate' in nature. Briefly describe your communication style to the interviewer and be sure to include the ways in which you feel your communications styles align.
1st Answer Example
"My communication style leans more to the formal side. I like to be concise and keep expectations simple to understand.

From the communication exchanges I have had with 3M so far, I believe our communication styles are a great fit."

- Articulate
