An applicant must be competent with verbal communication. Answering questions in a good and positive manner is a good point. There is a need to be direct to the point and demonstrate good skills as part of customer service. There is no need to be outgoing. There is only a need to know how to better communicate with coworkers, team members, customers and the management.
