      Focus Your Answer On

      What to Avoid

      If your communication skills need improvement, it is best to enroll in a course or join a group to enhance those skills before interviewing for the position of Construction Superintendent. You can enroll in a leadership course or join a group like Toastmasters to develop strong communication and leadership skills. Avoid telling the interviewer that your communication skills are weak. If the interviewer does not have confidence that you can communicate clearly and articulately, they will choose another candidate.

      Answer Example

      "My previous employer wrote me a letter of recommendation and described my communication skills as exceptional. He said I could communicate clearly and effectively with diverse groups of people, and my written documentation seldom needed correcting. I have developed my communication skills through leadership training and public speaking courses and feel confident with my skills."
