2. Tell me about your communication skills.
How to Answer
Tell the interviewer about your communication skills and provide a few strategies to improve the communication channels within a team. The emphasis should be on human contact, meeting fave-to-face as opposed to exchanging endless emails or using other impersonal mediums.
Answer Example
"I pride myself on my excellent communication skills. For instance, to improve the communication channels within a team, I do my best to meet with colleagues and superiors in person to talk about given projects as opposed to exchanging back-and-forth emails to ensure the exchange of a clear message - as communication can easily be distorted in an email. An in-person meeting also enables the sharing of ideas and promotes true human interactions. However, if I absolutely have to communicate via email, I will do so and then follow up over the phone or in-person to ensure that the recipient understands my message and that we really are on the same page - and that we won't have to start all over again."
