As a security professional for Allied Universal you will be required to submit daily reports. Tell me about your writing skills and communication.

"In my current role, I have checklists that I need to fill out every hour. In addition to this, I create a 300-600 word report at the end of every shift outlining any interactions that I had, any unusual activity, and the actions that I took. It's important that I log the time of these incidents and any small yet important details that may arise. My current supervisor often comments on how well laid out and clear my reports are. I take pride in my communication skills, both oral and written."

"I have a lot of experience writing reports from my time in university. My writing skills are strong, and I have taken coursework in report writing for business. I believe that great communication requires clear wording, the provision of important details, and the omission of unnecessary words or moot information."

It's essential to Allied Universal that you are a skilled communicator, especially when working with their clients and creating your daily reports. You could mention any courses you have taken in communication, journalism, or writing. Or, if you have on-the-job training in report writing, it would be wise to mention it. Lastly, you could focus on telling a story or give a specific example of when your communication skills improved a workplace situation. Suppose you have a sample of your written communication from a previous report you created. In that case, you can certainly bring that example with you if this does not breach any confidentiality agreements.
