      1st Answer Example

      "My current supervisor and co-workers will attest to my clear and concise communication skills. Because I am an open leader, my team also lets me know if I need to clarify anything. Based on this feedback from my current co-workers, I would rate my communication skills as an 8 out of 10. I'm definitely strong in this area, but still have room for improvement as I continue to grow as a leader and become more familiar with the Procter and Gamble communication values."

      2nd Answer Example

      "I will rate myself an 8.5 because I believe in being clear, direct, and upfront with my co-workers and customers. It is the foundation of all success in business. I am always striving to be a better communicator - to always be clear but kind - so I leave the rest of the scale as an aspirational measure. I also never shy away from those difficult conversations because they are important in having integrity in the business world."

      "Well based on my portfolio, where it can be seen that I am able to present results clearly and efficiently, plus the fact that I am always been a great leader shows that I am a good communicator. I believe that 8.5 / 10 would be fair."

      Marcie's Feedback

      Perhaps consider offering several ratings. You could break down your communication skills into reports/presentations, verbal/oral, and listening. Like you did, refer to your portfolio to support the rating you give yourself for presenting results clearly (maybe a 9 rating?) When you rate yourself on verbal communication, don't forget to mention your sales stats and how you effectively communicated to sell items, in addition to how you used your communication skills to be a strong leader. You should also mention the fact that you are bi-lingual and explain that if your rating isn't a perfect 10 this is partly due to the fact that you are a native Spanish speaker (if you are). Finally, you could include listening as a communication skill and talk about how you are an empathetic, active listener who customers open up to and trust.
