Interpersonal skills are traits you rely on when communicating and interacting with others. When you have strong interpersonal skills, you can build relationships with others and handle social situations with ease. Focus on using some of these interpersonal skills in your response:
- Active listening
- Empathy
- Leadership
- Patience
- Teamwork
- Flexibility
- Responsibility
- Motivation

Avoid not understanding the definition of interpersonal skills. Interpersonal skills are more than just communicating. This is a wonderful opportunity to show the interviewer how you possess many of the skills they are looking for in a candidate.

"I have solid interpersonal skills and have been praised by past supervisors and professors for these skills. I am an empathetic person who actively listens, communicates clearly, and is patient in interactions with others. I can work with diverse teams while motivating and inspiring others."
