Describe your communication style. How would it benefit you as part of the Doordash team?
Doordash is a people business, and great service begins with effective interpersonal communication. To get a sense of your communication style and how you will interact as part of their team, your interviewer may ask you point-blank to describe your communication style. This question also allows your interviewer to gain insight into your self-awareness, so how you talk about yourself is important as you answer this question. Speak confidently as you project your communication style, and don't hesitate to give an example of your open and straightforward communication style.
"I would call myself a diplomatic communicator. I like to see a situation from all sides as much as possible. When it comes to solving problems on the job as part of a team, I begin with the end in mind. The best way to do this is by gathering information from everyone involved, especially those who can provide direct perspectives. I wasn't always like this, especially growing up. However, I realized that to become more effective at work, I have to further develop my interpersonal skills. It has helped me to become a more charismatic person. I now have an easier time persuading and collaborating with others."
