How would you rate your communication skills on a scale from 1-10?

"I rate my communication skills as a 9/10 as I am not always as clear as I would like. My supervisor and co-workers will attest to my clear and concise communication skills, both written and verbal. I pride myself on being open, honest, and straightforward in my communications, something I know my future colleagues at Air Canada would appreciate."

"Communication is essential in the airline industry. I would rate my communication skills as a 7 out of 10 because there is always room for improvement. Because I am an open leader, my team will let me know if I need to clarify anything. Communication needs to run smoothly both ways, and I always keep an open door for communication to come my way."

Give yourself an honest rating of your communication skills from 1-10. Remember to walk the fine line between not rating yourself too low and not coming across as smug. The biggest piece to your answer here will be how your support your answer. Make sure to talk about the verbal and written communication skills you have used on the job in the past and include any feedback you've gotten on your ability to be a great communicator.

"I'm an extrovert who loves to engage in conversation and never backs away from a difficult conversation. I'm also confident in my written communication skills, and my professors have attested to this. I'd confidently rate my communication skills as an 8 out of 10 and one of the stronger qualities I would bring to work at Air Canada."
