6 Communications Coordinator Interview Questions & Answers
What skills do you possess that have prepared you for the communications coordinator position?
There are a few different skills that I feel contribute to my ability to fulfill this position. While working in my current and previous positions, I have worked to strengthen my communication abilities. Not only am I able to properly convey points to various people in ways in which they can understand, but I also realize the importance of listening to others for comprehension, so that my words may be most effective. I believe that my strong organization, marketing and administrative skills also aid me in my endeavors with this position.
Tell me about your process for handling conflict?
There are two sides to every story, so in handling conflict I try to understand both sides of the issue. I weigh all of the facts and consider the effects of possible resolutions. I then implement the resolution that I believe will be best received. I share the plan with all parties involved, including proper means for its implementation. I then monitor the implementation to ensure its effectiveness.
How do you approach important assignments?
I find that the best way to tackle important assignments is to work backwards, in a sense. I envision what the project should ideally look like in the end, then I formulate a plan to achieve that goal. If it is a team project, I get team members involved early by including them in the planning process. This way they have a vested interest in the project and will most likely be more motivated to see it through. On the other hand, if I am completing the project by myself, I take time to fully plan out my steps. Either way, I make sure there are measures in place along the way to ensure the project is panning out correctly and make adjustments when needed.
What efforts have you or do you put forth to ensure you are an effective communications coordinator?
I believe that learning should be an ongoing process even after you have entered into your career. Therefore, I constantly seek knowledge, whether it be in magazines or business articles online. I also attend various management workshops when possible to make sure I keep my skills sharp.
How would you describe yourself as a team player?
I would consider myself one of the visionaries of a team. I am not only able to monitor the progress of a project, I also notice the skills and abilities of my teammates. I use this knowledge to encourage and assist my teammates and motivate them when need be. This helps to ensure the proper completion of the project.
Describe your management skills in relation to the position.
Through my previous positions I have cultivated strong project and personnel management skills. I have managed myself and various teams in the completion of various projects and marketing campaigns. I understand the importance of organization, proper administration and teamwork to the success of any project, and those are things that I strive to implement in each project I lead. I also have received training in and have strong experience with negotiations and issue resolution, and I utilize this knowledge, as well as my other skills, to be an effective manager.
