No matter what team or role you will be joining with the Canadian Red Cross, having solid communication skills will be essential. You will certainly be in regular communications with your main colleagues but also could be coordinating things with other Red Cross teams or even communicating directly with citizens receiving aid from the organization. When looking at their core values, some important things to keep in mind when you discuss your communication strengths are helping to live their values of respect, dignity, integrity, and transparency. If the role you are being considered for will entail written communications, make sure to touch on your solid writing skills and experiences as well.

"If you contact my references, they'll be quick to say that I'm a very direct and open communicator on the job at all times and that my conversations are always respectful in any situation. I've certainly had to have difficult conversations with people in times of need, and I like to always put myself in the other person's shoes and speak to them with empathy and knowledge. In this role with the Canadian Red Cross, I know a big duty will be leading communications onsite for disaster relief efforts. I will have to be on top of my game at all times in leading the charge and I'm confident that my communication skills will bring me there."
