"I will rate myself a 7.5 out of 10 because I value communication and have taken various business and email communication courses in school. However, since I am new to my career, I do have some aspects of communication to learn. If hired, I will ensure clear communication by utilizing multiple methods of delivering messages, and I will ask questions for clarification when needed."

The interviewer would like to know how you rate your communication skills and your ability to craft professional correspondence. First, on a scale of 1-10, discuss how skilled you are in communication. Try to avoid giving yourself a 10, as nobody is perfect, and you do not want to come across as overly confident or someone who has no room for feedback and improvement. Alternately, avoid giving yourself too little credit. You do not want to paint the picture that you are a communication dud! Try to remain in a positive range while staying honest and accurate. Use an example of your excellent communication to back your answer.

"I will rate my communication skills an 8.5 because I consider myself a strong communicator, especially when relaying important messages to the team, my leaders, and our customers. I believe that clear communication is the foundation of all success in a business setting. For this reason, I continually strive to be a better communicator, and so I leave the rest of my ranking as an aspirational measure."
