The interviewer wants to know how well you communicate. Give your response with a rating scale of 1-10, and explain why you chose that particular rating for yourself.

"I rate my communication skills as a 9/10 as I will, on occasion, have times when I am not as clear as I would like to be. My supervisor and co-workers will attest to my clear and concise communication skills. Because I am an open leader, my team will let me know if I need to clarify anything."

"I will rate myself an 8.5 because I consider myself a strong communicator. It is the foundation of all business success. I am always striving to be a better communicator, so I leave the rest of the scale as an aspirational measure."

"9/10 - I keep my team appraised of all information and share experiences, lessons learned, and relevant information daily. My team is also aware that I am available to them 24/7 and can reach me at any time."

Lauren's Feedback

Great response. I made additions to include communication loops and how you maintain accountability.

"I rate my communication a 9 of 10. I have an open-door policy with staff to remain approachable and available if they ever need me. I keep my staff abreast of pertinent information throughout the day to keep things running smoothly. I also provide performance reviews and 360 feedback, so we are all accountable for the highs and lows of our work. I am open to feedback as much as my staff is; this mutual respect and communication loop is particularly successful."

"I would say I am a 9-10 because I think there are times I may not be as clear, but I try my best to give any feedback, questions, and clarity. I am an open listener, so I have no problem taking feedback on anything I need to improve."

Rachelle's Feedback

Wonderful! There is always room for improvement; however, you seem very confident in your ability to communicate with others.

"I give myself 8/10 because normally I work as a technical leader so I can explain information to business users with easier wording."

Marcie's Feedback

Nice! It's great that you've rated yourself an 8 because this shows confidence in your communication skills while recognizing that there's still room for improvement. Don't forget to include an example or two (the question directly asks for this; even if it didn't, examples will make your answer stronger) that show your ability to communicate effectively. Remember that communication includes verbal, non-verbal, written, and listening; include mentions of all of these kinds of communication in your response to really impress the interviewer. Good job!
