The project manager is the glue that holds the project together. For most marketing agencies and marketing departments, the project managers must keep the team members informed and accountable throughout the process. At the same time, PMs also need to communicate progress with clients. Show the interviewer that you can adapt the way you communicate with clients and team members based on the needs of the project. Moreover, you will also want to emphasize that you are able to communicate effectively with a variety of temperaments and paces. In your answer, provide an example or examples in which you used effective communication to resolve an issue or manage risk.

"I like to over-communicate to ensure that nothing gets lost in the fold. For example, after sending post-meeting action items through email, I will assign tasks through the project tracker with clear notes. Then, I will continue to reach out to the task owners for real-time updates. Once, I had a team member whose deliverable was due in a day but was unresponsive. I sent a note through the project tracker and followed up through email, but still couldn't get a hold of them. I decided to call their personal phone and found out they lost their internet connection for the day and wouldn't be able to make the deadline. I made the call to re-assign to another team member immediately. Ultimately, I don't mind sounding like a parrot if that means tasks are completed on time and to standards."
