How would you rate your communication skills?
"My written communication skills are powerful. I often utilize written communications as a follow-up to verbal communications. They provide a great resource for associates to go back to and reference, plus they might answer any questions that come up along the way."
Both written and verbal communication skills are necessary to perform the duties of a Facilities Manager. The interviewer wants to know how well you communicate, whether that means emails, reports, or in person. Share your skill and confidence level in written and verbal communication. Also, if you have taken any courses in communication or writing, feel free to mention these to the interviewer. Talk to the interviewer about your skills and support your answer with a brief example or story.
"I would describe my communication skills as very strong and would rate myself as a 9/10. I have always had a penchant for writing and have taken university courses related to communication, writing, and business administration. I speak to others with respect, professionalism, and kindness."
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.

8/10. I feel I have pretty strong communication skills. Also, I thank higher powers for spell and grammar checking almost every day.

An 8/10 for communication skills is pretty solid! Because communication skills can be both written and verbal, I suggest specifically naming both and providing an example of how you show strength in each area.

Nice! Don't forget that communication also includes non-verbal, presenting, and listening (in addition to written and verbal). Highlight your communication strengths. Give an example or two to support your claims as well. (For example, if you're a great listener, talk about a time when you used your listening skills to understand exactly what a customer needed and how you could help them. Did you repeat back what they said to confirm you understood them? Did you apologize for their trouble? Did you provide them with a timely resolution?) Good job!
