"Having worked in some form of customer service for the last ten years, I feel I've really sharpened my communication skills. I'm a good listener, often practicing active listening techniques in everyday conversations. For example, when a customer is explaining to me the type of item or product they are looking for, I repeat back what I think I hear as their description to ensure I understand exactly what they are looking for. I always maintain a professional tone in my communication, whether in verbal conversations, email communication, or instant messenger applications at work."
"During college, I was a project leader on many assignments, and through this experience, I was able to sharpen my communication skills. I'm direct in my communication style and typically try to communicate important information face to face first, then follow up with an email recapping the conversation and highlights. I always maintain a professional and positive tone and never raise my voice or curse when working in groups. I'm bilingual, so I'm able to communicate with a diverse group of people as well."
