Interview answer sample 1
Great Communication skills. I am a great orator as well as listener. I don’t think its all about convincing the counterpart that you are right, esp on a team. I think its about finding compromise and coming to a decision that everyone can agree and be happy about. Sometimes, there is definitely a need to keep eyes peeled and just listen/watch and keep mouths closed. I’m great at that too.
