Focus on describing your written and oral communication skills. If you have a former supervisor who commented on your excellent communication skills in a letter of recommendation or performance review, use their description in your response. The interviewer wants to know that you can speak clearly with others while properly documenting reports and other forms of written communications.

Avoid saying your communication skills could use improvement. The interviewer will pass you over for another candidate if you have poor communication skills. If you need to strengthen your communication skills, you might want to enroll in a leadership course, public speaking class, or read or watch a video on improving your communication skills.

“I have been told I have excellent communication skills. In my last performance review, my former supervisor wrote that I communicate clearly and concisely with clients and coworkers. She wrote that I have impeccable documentation skills, which rarely require clarification. I took a communications course in college, which helped strengthen and develop my skills.”
