Retail organizations like Bunnings Warehouse are fast-paced environments. Though supervisors may have the best intentions, some information may occasionally fall through the cracks, and your managers may not always communicate with you in the way you prefer. Describe your communication preferences, informing the interviewer how you handled a supervisor who communicated with you in a way that did not meet your expectations. Describe how you approached the situation, the discourse, and how the situation was resolved.

"When I have a supervisor who does not properly communicate with me, I try to learn their communication style and emulate it. Sometimes you have to relate to others in their style to be understood."

"I have had great supervisors in my previous positions; however, if faced with a communication challenge like this, I would ask the supervisor how to improve communication between us. Rather than placing blame, I believe it's always more effective to ask for growth recommendations."

Rachelle's Feedback

It's terrific that you are willing to work hard to learn different communication styles and open communication lines between you and your leaders. If you have ever experienced this type of situation, this question presents an excellent opportunity to give a brief story of 'a time when...' I have offered a slight revision for you below to show you how to incorporate this feedback.

"When I am in a situation where my supervisor has not been as clear in their communication as I would like, I start by asking for more defined information. I also try to learn their way of speech, their actions, and their communication style. Through these efforts, our communication can improve, and future errors are prevented. For example, when I was working at (company name) as a (job title), my supervisor asked me to...(tell a story using the STAR framework that highlights a time when you improved communication between yourself and your supervisor)."
