When answering questions about your communication skills, try to communicate as clearly and concisely as possible. Avoid any long pauses, stutters, or rambling. Take care not to depend on any tics or speech crutches, such as, "like," "um," "you know," "ah," and "er,". This will present you as a clearer communicator and more of a professional. Discuss the value of non-defensive communication, active listening, mirroring, empathy, and adapting your communication style to those who are less skilled communicators.
