Give an example of when you used your listening skills to solve a problem.

The interviewer wants to see that you have strong listening skills. They want to know that you aren't the type to interrupt before hearing your student or co-workers out. When it comes to using your listening skills while receiving direction from your employer or listening to a student, asking for clarification can save you a lot of grief down the road! Show that you are one to check for complete understanding when you are navigating new territory. Highlight to the interviewer that you are the type to attentively listen and troubleshoot problems in a collaborative style.
