Communication skills are of the utmost importance at SiriusXM, both within the technical departments as well as company-wide and with external clients in the marketing field. Hiring managers want to know how you would define 'effective communication skills' to see if it matches what they are looking for when filling this role.

In your response, go beyond the basic canned response such as 'good listener.' Think of productive cross-functional teams that you have worked on and how communication was a vital part of the team's success. If possible, think of projects you worked on with marketing teams or clients.

"Over the years, I have learned how to effectively communicate with team members and clients having a wide variety of backgrounds. I have worked on many projects with marketing teams that included members without any technical background. Effective communication in these types of scenarios requires us to use language and terms that both groups would understand. Working at SiriusXM, I know I will continue to learn more about media and marketing."
