Kevin Downey has an extensive background in business management, recruiting, branding and marketing. He's volunteered his career coaching services at job fairs, lecturing on interview techniques and crafting winning resumes and cover letters.

One of TSB's core values concerns providing clear communication at all times, "Say it straight. We take pride in being open and honest, avoiding jargon and business-speak." So this question is a test of your communication skills. Not only in the anecdote you provide but also in how you deliver your answer. Modern Hire advertises that their "automated interview scoring evaluates candidate responses, and offers recommended scores rankings," which leads to "better candidate evaluation for better outcomes."

It is important to relax when delivering your interview. When nervous, many people speak too fast, in a hurry to get through the interview. But the last thing you want to do is hurry through your answer when the question is about how well you communicate. Pace yourself in a measured manner and moderate your tone. Speak more slowly and come across as relaxed.

"It would depend on what was being simplified and explained in laymen's terms and who I was communicating to. I pride myself on my communication skills and am quite adept at adapting my communication style to whomever I am speaking to. But I would communicate with transparency, actively listen, and do what I could to empathize with and understand the motives and goals of whomever I was speaking to."
