Stress that you also value plain and simple language and strive to maintain straightforward, concise communication in the workplace. If you can think of one, give a relevant example of your ability to do just that.

"I strive to be straightforward and concise in my communication with clients and colleagues. In my previous role, I focused on listening to my clients and their most pressing needs and goals. I made an effort to echo their language and avoid esoteric ideas that I knew wouldn't be relevant. Above all, I ensure that my tone is never patronizing towards clients or colleagues. I often learn something new from those I work with and place great value on hearing their input."

"To communicate effectively, I strive to convey the essence of an idea in simple terms rather than deep-diving into the details of more technical matters. I've found this to be an important component of humility within the industry. Furthermore, If I'm having trouble explaining a new concept in simple terminology, I've found that it usually means that I have more research to do myself. I place incredible value on continuous learning within the industry via publications, newsletters, podcasts, and conferences. Keeping myself educated allows me to explain complicated ideas in a way that makes sense to people outside of the industry."
