No matter what role you are interviewing for at ICON plc, your ability to communicate effectively in both verbal and written formats will be essential for your success on the job. Your interviewer asks you how you would rate your communication skills in hopes that you will elaborate on your communications strengths and you will highlight how you use them to succeed in your work.

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

Try to avoid giving yourself a 10, nobody is perfect, and you do not want to come across as overly confident or someone who has no room for feedback and improvement. Alternately, avoid giving yourself too little credit. You do not want to paint the picture that you are a communication dud! Try to remain in the 7.5-9.5 range while staying honest and accurate. Use an example of your excellent communication to back up your answer.
