      Entry Level Example

      "I will rate myself an eight because I value communication, but, just like most people, I have things to learn. I ensure clear communication by utilizing multiple methods of delivering messages, and I give ample time for questions before implementing changes."

      Answer Example

      "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 coworkers 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."

      Experienced Example

      "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."

      Anonymous Answer

      "I would give myself a 9, and my time working in a correctional institution enlightened me to this. While I was in several uses of force, I often prevented them before they occurred. While working at the Transitional Care unit, I had a unique ability to talk mentally ill people and dementia patients through doing what I needed them to do. My favorite was a dementia patient in his late 60's who had been a teacher. He tried to move from his bed to go to work. I told him that I did not want to embarrass him, but it was Saturday. It worked!"
