Talk about a time you encountered a communication problem at work. Describe the situation, the steps you took, and the outcome.

Spend time meditating on what you want to say, paying attention to your choice of words, what they suggest, and practice speaking in a natural and evenly paced tone. This will help you avoid giving the algorithm unintended cues or signals that could cause it to draw the wrong conclusions from your answer. Enunciate your words, avoiding stutters or long pauses, and avoid crutch words such as "uh," "like," "um," "you know," "so on and so forth," "and," "well," "but," "so," "ah," "er," and "etcetera."

Allow yourself all the time needed to prepare. You'll want to present yourself on camera as a professional in every way, as you would in an in-person interview. On its careers website page Nike states, "Nike is casual dress regardless of the position or the country in which you are applying. Generally, business casual is the appropriate attire and it doesn't hurt to sport your favorite pair of Nikes, Jordans or Converse." So, when presenting yourself in your interview, wear professional clothing appropriate for the role. The algorithm will evaluate how well-groomed you are and how tidy and professional your attire is.

"I was working with a supervisor who didn't have the strongest communication skills. When others wouldn't understand what this person was attempting to communicate to our teams, and would ask for clarification, they would simply repeat what they said before, but more slowly and pronounced. So I witnessed this happening, and I mirrored what this individual was saying, communicating with empathy, and explaining where I felt the communication breakdown was occurring, and how their statements could be interpreted in a variety of ways. Eventually, I was able to get to the core of the communication breakdown and reach an understanding on all fronts."

It is up to you to present what you might qualify as a communication problem. So present the right attitude when presenting an example. Objectify the situation, exhibiting an emotionally mature perspective, and how you navigated this terrain, ultimately leading to a successful resolution. Posture yourself in a relaxed and comfortable position. Focus on the positives and how the overall outcome benefited the team. Nonverbal cues for empathy are slightly tilting your head, nodding slowly, keeping your palms open, maintaining eye contact, smiling softly, and slightly raising your eyebrows.
