How are your communication skills?
Employers seek employees who can get along with others and who can communicate well both verbally and non-verbally. During the interview, the hiring manager will be evaluating your listening skills, confidence, non-verbal communication skills, body language, and ability to be clear and concise.
"I have been told by my current manager that my communication skills are very strong. I try to always break my emails and phone conversations down to the simplest facts so that everyone involved in receiving the most pertinent information. I also possess great follow-up skills."
Excellent communication skills are essential for workplace success. If you've landed an interview, expect to be asked interview questions about how you communicate, and to have your ability to communicate in the workplace tested and evaluated. Practice interviewing with a friend or family member, or even by yourself in front of a mirror. Even though it's not an actual interview, you'll be able to consider, in advance, how you will respond and how you will connect with your interviewer. Remember to be yourself, practice active listening, and keep it positive.
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.

I have spent my entire adult life honing my communication skills. From phone calls to emails to face-to-face.

It sounds like you've put a lot of effort and intentionality into perfecting your communication skills! I suggest explicitly stating how you'd describe your written and verbal communication skills (example: exceptional, excellent.)
