Tell me about a time when your communication skills greatly benefited your team.

Questions about your communication skills are asked to measure your ability to communicate in different situations and with different personalities. The ability to communicate efficiently is needed not only for being productive in your work, but also for creating a healthy work environment. Responding effectively means achieving a balance between listening to what the interviewer is asking and providing a well-thought-out response to questions.

"Communication and meeting deadlines are two areas of strength that I feel will benefit your company. During my time as an intern at XYZ company, I helped to streamline communication among several project members, onsite and remotely. I tested and suggested apps that helped keep all members up-to-date and improved our ability to communicate quickly and meet deadlines. You mentioned your department has had challenges getting projects done on time, and I think my experience would help improve this for you too."
