Rate your listening skills from 1-10. What would your coworkers say about your listening skills?

The interviewer would like to know how you rate your listening skills and how your rating would compare to how others would rate you in return. Avoid giving yourself a 10, as nobody is perfect, and you do not want to seem unable to accept feedback.

Alternately, avoid giving yourself too little credit. You do not want to paint the picture that you are a terrible listener! Stay in the 7.5-9.5 range, and back your rating with a comment you have received from a coworker recently.

"I would say that my listening skills are a 9/10. My supervisor recently mentioned how much he appreciates that I do not check my phone in the middle of a conversation like many people do."

Community answers are written by other candidates practicing this set. Reading how others frame the same question is one of the fastest ways to sharpen your own.
