The exchange of reliable and accurate information is critical to Boeing, which is why the company puts a lot of emphasis on the communication capabilities of each employee and intern. Be prepared to discuss a time when your communication skills improved a work-based situation between yourself and a peer.
Perhaps you used your excellent communication skills to divert a potentially harmful situation. Maybe you saved a business transaction, you were able to reiterate the intention of an email before feelings were hurt, or you helped a cross-departmental effort to go smoothly.
If you are new to your career or do not bring workplace experience, come prepared with an example related to your post-secondary studies, a volunteer experience, or a group-based situation such as a team sport.
Remember: Boeing uses behavioral-based questions to conduct interviews, and they advise using the STAR (Situation, Task, Action, and Result) method when responding. Be sure your answer is highly specific and includes quantifiable details and tangible results.
