Vodafone Mock Interview

"I try to communicate as concisely as possible, yet adapt to others when I can. I believe that strong communication and making others feel validated and understood are paramount to building relationships. In my current position, I have one particular client who is a very brief communicator. If I ask two questions, he tends to answer only one. I learned quickly that he would not acknowledge anything for which he did not have a direct answer, so I began to ask him questions in a different way. For example, I would say, 'Do you have an answer for me on question X?' and he would say yes or no. We would then go from there. This method was an effective form of communication for that particular client. I have a few approaches that will be useful when working for Vodafone, especially with its focus on an open, experimental culture."

"Good communication is my passion, and what seems to me to be the heart of Vodafone's mission of using technology solutions to create opportunities. I once had a client who often missed email updates. It caused us to cross our wires a few times. I suggested that we book a quick call every week to review any outstanding areas that need to be addressed, and I followed each call with a status report so that the conversation was documented. I believe this process would work nicely for Vodafone as well."
