You cannot force others to communicate with you in a way that you would always prefer. Talk to the interviewer about a time that you have handled a supervisor who does not interact with you in a way that you like.

"Whenever I have had a supervisor who does not properly communicate with me, I try to learn their style of communication 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 I could improve communication between us. Rather than placing blame, I believe it's always more effective to ask for growth recommendations."

I have had great managers that had awesome communication,
However, there has been a few that I have had communication issues with.
So what I would do is ask the manager how we could improve our communication between us. Rather than placing blame. I believe it is always more effective to ask for growth recommendations.
Lauren's Feedback
This is a great answer, because you choose to open up dialogue versus creating tension.
Instead of placing blame, I approach the situation more openly. I asked the manager how we could improve communication as a whole to provide suggestions and feedback. Sometimes, it just takes people to get to know one another's work style to understand better their method of working.
