Once again, the employer is more interested in the tools you use to effectively communicate a complex idea, rather than the idea itself. Points to bear in mind when explaining your methodology: - When communicating complex ideas, you keep your message simple and straightforward – avoiding technical jargon and overusing statistics. - You don’t expect people to have the same background knowledge as you and are careful to introduce your idea in clear, concise terms. - You find that giving examples, using pictures and graphs helps clarify difficult concepts and can be useful as people have different learning styles. - You always encourage questions and if somebody is having difficulty understanding, you are quick to adapt your style.
