At your current or former place of employment, how important was communication and dealing with others?

"In my previous role, healthy communication was required to protect the safety of our employees. We transported dangerous goods, and we were all required by our management to take specific workshops on communication and documentation. Because of this, my communication skills are exceptionally strong."

"There is not a strong level of communication in my current workplace. This is part of the reason I am seeking new employment. I highly value clear communication. Do you encourage strong communication between employees here?"

Talk to the interviewer about your most recent position and how communication played a part. Acknowledge the importance of clear communication in the workplace. Describe what you contributed to enhance clearer communication in the workplace.

If the communication standards set into practice by your employer were not what you felt they should be, feel free to communicate this diplomatically. Communication is more than getting everyone on the same page. It's about how a message is conveyed. Take care with your choice of words and what they might communicate.
