Here's three concrete things you can try: 1. Draw more diagrams. Ask to use screen-share or have a whiteboard close behind you that you can turn to. Draw what you're thinking, and then explain more and let them ask questions about the drawing. This is a good practice for anyone. You can use some of your recent interview questions as examples for yourself and practice drawing solutions to them. 2. Don't be afraid to admit that you have some verbal communications issues. It shows that you have awareness of it, which is huge - we all need to own up to our own shortcomings. However, you don't have to phrase it like that! Don't sell yourself short, either. Tell them you have a novel, "unconventional" approach that you've found has advantages, and figure out what they are, and eludicate on them. Since you can write clearly, you might think of ways to use that, i.e. "allow me to write an outline of how I would approach this" and type that as they watch, if you can. You can also write yourself some canned answers to common questions and cram on them like a politician does for debate prep. You know what you're going to be asked, by now; why not memorize some good answers? 3. Last but not least, consider seriously the concern here: > my communication skills aren't up to par for the senior roles I'm applying for Decide for yourself if you think that's true or not, relative to other senior engineers you've dealt with thus far. If it's true, then getting one of these jobs may not actually be what you want, because the expectation of communication will be higher, and you may find it stressful, frustrating, or simply not fulfilling. If it's not true, and you think you can muster up, then you need to spin your own style as a positive, and not let it be seen as a negative.
