"I rate my skills as a 9/10. Communication is very important to me. My supervisor and co-workers will attest to my clear and concise communication skills. Yet I acknowledge there is always room for improvement. Still, I am open and frequently check in to answer questions and see if I need to clarify anything. Communication needs to run smoothly, both ways."

"I am very intuitive and empathetic. I study the communication style of the person I am interacting with and modify my communication style to theirs whenever necessary. I frequently repeat, mirror, and validate to ensure the person I am speaking with feels heard. If emotions come into play, I study those emotions, remove myself from them, and observe the situation. This approach helps center me and expedites desirable outcomes."

When answering this question, break down all the aspects of communication. Elaborate on your listening skills, sense of empathy, ability to observe things situationally and not emotionally, and ability to mirror and responsibly ensure what is being communicated is being accurately interpreted and understood by all parties.
