Tell me about a time where you had to use your communication skills to get a point
across that was important to you ( A common behavioral based interview question)
Situation – I was in a board meeting and we were discussing some changes that going
to be made in our work place. However if they made these changes, it would have a
significant negative effect on my department
Task – Since I was the only one representing my department I had to make sure I did
what was in the best interest of everyone in my department. I decided that I would
either need to convince the board to reduce the workload or increase the time given
to us to complete the task.
Action – I began by sharing my concerns based off numbers. I had done my research in
regards to recent productivity in my department and I used this to outline my
concerns. I highlighted areas where we could improve and I showed how these
incoming changes would negatively effect our improvement.
Result – Because I had backed up what I was saying with something tangible the board
graciously considered my request. A week later they decided to split the workload
between a few more departments, making the requirements more realistic for us. The
fact that I am an organized & prepared employer made it easy for me to get my point
across.
