How would you rate your communication and presentation skills?
"I would say that I am an above-average communicator and presenter. I present frequently to my clients and stakeholders and communicate well with my teams. For example, one of my clients recently complimented my ability to keep them informed without inundating them with too many technical details. That is an important communication skill for my role as a senior product manager.
I am excited about the opportunity to improve my executive communication and presentation skills during my time at Kellogg. I find myself communicating with C-level audiences more frequently and want to make the best impression possible."
If selected for the MBA program, you will be required to work in teams and present regularly at Kellogg. Communication and presentation skills are essential to your success, and they are also an area you will have the opportunity to improve upon during your MBA experience. Your interviewer wants to know how you see yourself in these two aspects that are important to your ability to be successful professionally and at Kellogg.
Give yourself a humble yet positive rating. Also, take this opportunity to discuss the areas you hope to improve upon and how the curriculum at Kellogg aligns with your goals. Letting your interviewer know how you plan to apply what you learn from your coursework is an excellent way to show them you are serious about the program and ready to take this important step in your career.
