The rating you give yourself holds little weight compared to how you communicate the reason you gave yourself that score. This question is all about communication, so the answer is centered on how you communicate your answer to the interviewer. Avoid using speech crutch words, such as "basically," "so," "you know," "like," "um," "ah," "er," "well," "actually," "literally," "but," and "so on and so forth." Communication is essential to the successful operations of any corporation. Elaborate on the value you place on communication.
