Rate your communication skills from 1-10 with proper examples backing your given rating.

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

"I believe there is always room to improve communication skills, so for that reason, I will rate myself as an 8/10. I have not received any complaints about my communication abilities and am quite proud of my oral and written communication skills. I have a lot of experience drafting customer communications sent out by email, and my current colleagues love my openness and transparency in communications."

Be upfront and honest with yourself and your interviewer as you rate your communication skills on a scale of 1-10. In explaining why you chose that particular rating for yourself, discuss your ability to openly communicate verbally in the work setting, listen carefully to the needs of your coworkers and customers, and utilize written communication effectively.

"I would rate my communication skills as a 7 out of 10. I consider my written communication skills top-notch. I took a few points away because I'm rather shy and tend to let others speak first in a large group setting. Once people get to know me well and I become more trusting of them, I'm much quicker to open up."
