Communication is integral to the successful operations of any business. The message sent is not always the message received. A communication breakdown can happen anywhere in the chain. Share with the intervewiers the value of effective communication, and elaborate on your approach and skills, from validation to empathy to mirroring. Explore your non-defensive communication skills and your iron-clad approach to making sure everyone gets along and is all on the same page.

"I rate my communication skills as a 9/10 as I am not always as clear as I would like to be. My supervisor and co-workers will attest to my clear and concise communication skills. Because I am an open leader, my team will let me know if I need to clarify anything."
