Focus on describing your written and oral communication skills. If you have a former supervisor who commented on your excellent communication skills in a letter of recommendation or performance review, use their description in your response. The interviewer wants to know that you can speak clearly with others while properly documenting reports and other forms of written communications.

Avoid saying your communication skills could use improvement. The interviewer will pass you over for another candidate if you have poor communication skills. If you need to strengthen your communication skills, you can enroll in a leadership course or public speaking class or read a book or watch a video on improving your communication skills.

"I have been told I have excellent communication skills. I took communications and documentation courses in college, which strengthened and developed my skills. In my last performance review, my former manager wrote that I communicate clearly and concisely with patients, family members, and coworkers. She wrote that I have impeccable documentation skills, which rarely require clarification or corrections."
