      1st Answer Example

      "My current supervisor and co-workers will attest to my clear and concise communication skills. Because I am an open leader, my team also lets me know if I need to clarify anything. Based on this feedback from my current co-workers, I would rate my communication skills as an 8 out of 10. I'm strong in this area, but I still have room for improvement as I grow as a leader and become more familiar with Kimberly-Clark's communication values."

      "I would rate my communication skills at an 8. I feel I communicate well as well as I ask my co-workers if they understand what I am saying when giving instructions to the men when I am the foreman. I always ask if they have a better plan or idea as well."

      Marcie's Feedback

      Giving yourself an 8 rating is good because it shows that while you have confidence in your ability to communicate, you don't think you're perfect (which could come off as arrogant). Don't forget, however, that there are various forms of communication: verbal, written, nonverbal, listening, public speaking, and so on. Consider talking about your strengths in these areas as well. You can even give yourself different ratings according to each communication type if you want. Great job!
