Being able to interact and communicate effectively with colleagues is a key skill for an internal auditor, and also shows that the candidate possesses the ability to grow into larger roles within the organization such as manager and director. Even new internal auditors will need to email and call colleagues at all levels within the organization, so be sure to mention that you have attention to detail and are responsive.

"I believe that being able to communicate with our colleagues effectively will be key from day one. Whenever I communicate with anyone, I make sure that I am responsive. If I can't give someone the information they are seeking right away, I make sure to let them know the anticipated timing. If there are unexpected delays, I provide updates. I would also make sure I review any documents or emails I send to other departments in order to build trust in my abilities. Finally, I would act professionally while out in the field at our company's various locations."

Communication is key. I say that fully aware that not everyone responds in the same way. I believe my strength is knowing when I need to change my communication style to get the best out of the situation. Especially with internal audits, some of the things that are communicated are hard to hear. If my communication is only opening people up to be defensive, nothing is solved.

Excellent. It's great that you recognize how important it is to be a strong communicator who can convey information to different groups of people. You might also mention that it's essential to build trust with your colleagues. Providing an example of a time when you communicated effectively and/or built a meaningful relationship with a colleague will strengthen your answer. Great job!
