Communication is integral to the success of any department and workgroup at Pfizer. This question is a test of your communication skills where your interviewer will evaluate your communication style with this question, as well as how you will deal with authority as an intern.

Exemplify your ability for non-defensive communication, and how you helped enhance clear communication in this scenario. Talk about how you would find opportunities to clarify when communication was unclear during your time working with the Pfizer internship program. Provide specific examples of situations where you had to ask questions, mirror what was being communicated to you, and how a consensus was reached.

"I recognize not everyone is a natural at communicating. When situations like this occur, I find it initially requires more work. After a bit of mirroring, making sure there are no missing pieces, a person can understand a poor communicator better. Once we establish a rapport, the poor communication improves. People just want to be understood. If a person feels misunderstood all the time, they might grow less communicative to defend themselves. These things just require patience and understanding."
