Example #1
"I prefer verbal communication because I feel that with written communication, wires can be crossed, due to lack of tone, fluctuation, expression and body language. I will always choose a face to face conversation whenever possible."
Example #2
"I do not lean one way or the other when it comes to verbal or written communication. Both are equally important to me. If I have to choose just one, I will choose written communication as one can always look back on written communication for reference."
Example #3
"I like to leverage both methods of communication when dealing with business. Sometimes, situations call for verbal communications and other times, written. As a rule of thumb, I tend to practice verbal communications, with written follow up or vice versa. Utilizing multiple methods creates repetition and therefore, change."
Example #4
"I am comfortable with both so it would depend on the message, I suppose. Big news needs to be communicated verbally and followed up in written form, but quick messages or simple changes can be communicated effectively through email without the hassle of breaking away from work for a call or meeting."
Example #5
"I am a better verbal communicator. I spend the bulk of my day speaking with customers and training my staff on new sales, policies, or products. I can certainly communicate well in written form, also."
Example #6
"As a salesperson, I am skilled in both written and verbal forms of communication, but I prefer verbal. I am a great conversationalist and close most of my sales in person or over the phone."
Example #7
"I would say that I am a better verbal communicator simply because I spend most of my day communicating in that method. I can certainly communicate well in written form; however, I do have more experience communicating verbally."
Example #8
"I prefer verbal communication because I feel that with written communication, a lot can be misread due to lack of tone, fluctuation, expression and body language. I will always choose a face to face conversation whenever possible."
Example #9
"I prefer verbal communication because I feel that with written communication, a lot can be misread due to lack of tone, fluctuation, expression and body language. I will always choose a face to face or phone conversation whenever possible."
Example #10
"I am comfortable with both so it would depend on the message, I suppose. Big news needs to be communicated verbally and followed up in the written form. However, quick messages or simple changes can be communicated effectively through email without the hassle of breaking away from work for a call or meeting."
Example #11
"I am a strong written and verbal communicator with several years of professional experience using both, though if I had to choose I would say that I am a better verbal communicator. I choose verbal because I really enjoy connecting with others, and I feel that I am able to better meet someone's needs when I can modify my communication in real time. I am confident in my ability to engage audiences and individuals with my captivating, almost storytelling way of speaking and sharing information."
