QUESTION 16 OF 30

Would you say you are a better verbal or written communicator?

In which manner do you prefer to communicate - written or verbal? Discuss your preference with the interviewer and support your answer.

"I prefer verbal communication because I feel that with written communication, miscommunication can happen due to lack of tone, fluctuation, expression and body language. I will always choose a face to face conversation whenever possible."

"I like to leverage both methods of communications when dealing in business. Sometimes, situations call for verbal communications and other times, written. As a rule of thumb, I tend to practice verbal communications, with written follow up or vice versa. Utilizing multiple methods creates repetition and therefore, change."

Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.

Anonymous Answer

I believe I can communicate better in writing because it allows me to think about better ways of explaining myself.

Rachelle's Feedback

Very fair! Try to complete your response by also supporting your verbal communication skills.

"I believe I communicate better in written form, as it allows me the time to explain myself better. With that said, I understand the importance of clear and concise verbal communication in the workplace."
